Well, if your Database server is running in wine, it should be possible.
Also there're ODBC drivers for opensource rdbms like PostgreSQL.
I'd really recommend using postgresql under gnu/linux and connecting
you wine'd application to it via odbc, instead of using silly 
wannabe-databases like access or m$-sql-server.

BTW: is there any interest in adapting the win-odbc to unixODBC 
within wine ?
