There is a free gateway product Database Gateway for ODBC that is OK for smallish amounts of data. For large amounts of data I'd probably either use SSIS on the SQL Server side, or if politics/business needs didn't allow this then I'd probably just write the data to a flat file and consume the flat files in parallel as an external table.
