LPC Consulting Services provides ODBTalk, a class library for ODBC database 
access.  It works with any ODBC-compliant data source, which includes MS 
SQL-Server 6.0.  Here is a brief description, and I will also send you more 
detailed info via email.

   ODBC 2.x support for 50+databases
   Visual development components  for database access
   Native ODBC data type support
   Online documentation, source included, no runtime fees
   programming examples and sample application
   OO to RDBMS mapping framework, based on types & brokers, ideal for 
    complex client-server applications  
   compatible with OTI's ENVY/Developer, Object Share's WindowBuilderPro
   SLL and Team/V packaging support
   Windows, Win32s,OS/2, Windows-NT  
   IBM VisualAage, Digitalk Visual Smalltalk, ParcPlace VisualWorks

ODBTalk for the Digitalk, ParcPlace and IBM development environments,
allows the Smalltalk developer to interface to ODBC-compliant data
sources.  This provides a common way for applications to access many
databases concurrently, and to add or move to other databases in the
future with minimal changes to the application code.  The full ODBC 2.1
specification is supported - core, levels 1 and 2.  Online documentation
and application programming examples are included.  Executables created
with ODBTalk can be distributed royalty-free.  ODBTalk includes a
sophisticated framework for mapping Smalltalk classes to relational
tables and vice-versa based on brokers.  Optionally Smalltalk classes
can be generated based on an existing relational database. The Visual
Smalltalk, VisualAge and VisualWorks versions include visual programming
components. Supports Windows 16-bit, Win32s, Windows-NT, OS/2.

ODBTalk allows the Smalltalk developer to interface to ODBC-compliant
data sources.  This provides a common way for applications to access
many different databases with the same application code.  ODBTalk also
includes a sophisticated framework for mapping Smalltalk classes to
relational tables and vice-versa based on brokers.  Visual programming
are included.
