mSQL from Hughes is also for amiga (on aminet.)

We have msql.library (also on aminet.)
With this you can build sql clients using arexx, so you can access data from
the mSQL base from any program that supports arexx (quite a bunch I'd say :) )
We have a news-service here (http://rams.nvg.org/) that runs on mSQL on a
linux box. Earlier we used a MUIRexx GUI to get URLs from our amiga browsers
to put in new entries, the msql.library talking over tcp/ip with a port on
the linux box. Today this is done purely through php on the server though.
