    We have a windows application written in VB w/SQL Server (SQL2K) in
    the backend. Another application would like to have access to some of
    our data (read/only). Normally we would provide the data via our
    external interface DLL, but this is a Java application is running on
    Unix. We really don't want the java app hitting the database directly
    (even R/O) because when things change their app would then be broke
    and we get yelled at.....

    In the Windows world we simply make sure our external interface DLL
    doesn't change input or output interfaces and we make all necessary
    chages to the DLL behind the scene. Any suggestions on how best to
    approach this? We would like to maintian the interface layer since our
    developers are most familar with the application and database.
