[ale] PHP, ODBC & MSSQL

There is a package on OpenBSD of mysql2pgsql-20013020.tgz for MySQL to pgsql
conversions also, if anyone cares, so there is probably a Linux port of it.
pgadminII is pretty cool.  I have used it on one project to date. OpenOffice
can handle Access tables with pretty much the same method (the table view)
that Access uses via ODBC.  I just spent an some time on the site (sorry,
forgot the URL - though a Google search for it would be easy enough) that
laid it out.  Some guy is using OpenOffice to administer his Access
database.  Access uses ODBC and there are MySQL & php modules to handle it,
though it is tough going according to my Google research.
