I've written an OPeNDAP server called pydap (http://pydap.org) that
supports data stored in relational databases. Since the announcement
of the spec, I've been working on the SQL plugin to make it Dapper
compliant. In case you want to give it a try I can send you the new
plugin and help you setting the server up.
