I have a MS Access app that reads Oracle data, turns them into a POV-script
(to make 2D charts), launches a command-line POV-Ray for MS-Dos and displays
the image file.
Nothing really special here, just a text output and a shell command if I
remember.

Now if POV-Ray had native ODBC/SQL capabilities ;-)
#sql "SELECT CATEGORY, COUNT FROM DATA"
