    Nice article.

    It makes me wonder why 64-bit SQL can't use 32-bit providers (eg Jet), since the bit-ness of out-of-process COM components doesn't matter. They'd only need a 32-bit host process.

    It might be more complicated to set up, but surely it would be easier that the current workaround of putting a 32-bit SQL Express instance in the middle!
