Indeed. It is my (untested) understanding that the MS Access Report writer (and gui)
can be exploited with data from other vendor's databases through ODBC.

I was wondering if it was possible to configure python to serve data appropriately
to queries from the report writer -- this doesn't mean implementing a full DBMS
in python, only to feed back appropriately patterned data to the report generator.
