RevConference - Client Server vs Stateless

[Peter T. Evensen]

While I was at the seminar, I still would like more info on interfacing to 
a database via a thin client, not only getting data, but also updating and 
writing data to the database.  I am interested in working with a remote 
database server (i.e. one that is not accessible via ODBC).

Thanks, Jerry!
