There is a learning Qt book available that includes Qt/Windows 3.2.3 on CD under a fairly liberal license. Qt 4 is in late beta, and will be available under something like the GPL for Windows. Qt has a very nice database abstraction that lets you access most database features without needing to know the underlying database. The disadvantage is that it's an abstraction. You can't access some features using it, and if you're familiar with libpq, say, it feels a little like working on something while wearing thick gloves.
