Well if you're talking strategic SQL access, either of these (*if only* they
supported ODBC calling mechanisms) you could bolt it onto mailman and have at
it:
http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/
http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/snakesql/

You can still have at it in SQL without the calling mechanisms,  but you're
limited to command line that calls python script...maybe not so limited.

SOAP could fix it so you could create an XML datasource bolted on the side of
mailman.  Then you could have at it from Excel etc. or from within real
databases that supported some kind XML query.
