I am aiming to create a very basic web based DBMS for Microsoft SQL Server. However, in order to connect to a SQL Server database you seem to require a ODBC connection on the server. Is there any possible way to overcome this?

A: 

You haven't stated which version of SQLServer but you can use OLEDB connection in ASP.

An example of this is located here

Thanks for the speedy answer we are using 2005 / 2008. So this connection method means an ODBC connection does not need to be created on the server?Many Thanks, Joel
