Thank you. This is one case where I-Net can hardly be used. It's not only the setup, but security and other issues as well. For traditional client/server connectivity you can use the OpenLink ODBC drivers (http://www.openlinksw.com) where most of the setup is done on the server, and only a simple installation of a generic ODBC driver needs be done on each PC. This last part can also be automated. For even easier setup you should considder a web server and let the users use a browser for access. For reasonably simple access you can use CGI scripts or one of many other methods to access the data. If you have more advanced requirements you may want to write a Java applet using JDBC to access the database.
