mySQL integration with SharePoint

use mysql's built in obdc support.
run all queries through access and the obdc connectivity it can get to the mysql server.
tie sharepoint and access together.

this might have gotten noticed and answered sooner if it had been in either client server or programming, as mysql in not *x only, it runs on windows as well.

You can attach MySQL queries in just minutes directly to SharePoint lists (not web parts). All list features are available, e.g. personal views, grouping, filter, sorting, search, workflows...
