ESS does in fact allow record creation and updates. There are certain  
requirements, but we have been able to work around these and create/ 
update records in mySQL. I also know that MS SQL and Oracle should  
work the same way.

The requirement include having write access, and being aware of the  
field definitions in the SQL table. On the Mac OS side you may need to  
purchase ODBC drivers. On Windows we were able to install these from  
within the existing OS.
