There isn't any Microsoft SharePoint problem. You just can't use SharePoint
on a non-Windows 2003 server. I have to disagree that using a SharePoint
DataView is the easiest way to connect to a database as well. But that is
moot, as you just can't use SharePoint.
In fact, Microsoft does make the easiest programming interfaces to databases
with technologies like ASP and ASP.Net. So, the easiest path would be to
move your site to a Microsoft platform, and use ASP, ASP.Net, or WSS.
Assuming that can't be done, you will need to either have your hosting
company write a very complicated Mysql script or perl or php that connects
to your data source, or hire someone to do it, or learn one or more of those
technologies, and do it yourself.
