Hi, James;
ADS 11 offers web services. You may access your own dbfs from any browser using php/java/ruby either with the native client for each of these languages or simply use web-service calls. They have implemented the xml structure with the oData standards. SAP will provide you with a free 2 user server version good for development. There is a also a free training "Summit" every October in Boise. At deployment time, SAP-ADS offers the least expensive SQL engine on the market (other than free and no support).
Hope that helps,
Reinaldo.
