You could use the Easysoft XML-ODBC Server which require no client side install if you are writing your own application. Or the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge if the client application is already has ODBC support. This requires a client side install but nothing like 300 MB

Details of both on www.easysoft.com
