RE: Cheap SQL application

["Smith, Martin" <martin -dot- smith -at- encorp -dot- com>]

John Posada wrote, in part "...Hi, guys....before I hit my company up for a
seat on their Microsoft SQL Server 7 Enterprise, is there a cheap (we might
be talking about my money) SQL application that I could load locally on
Win2000 for doing simple queries?..."

I am thinking that Microsoft Access might fit the bill, especially if you
already own the office suite. You can write SQL queries in Access. 

If you need to access your data from a different application (such as a
Visual Basic application, for example), you can register an Access database
file with Windows' ODBC driver. The ODBC database drivers allow you to
manipulate databases using SQL commands.

Good luck,
