Hi Chester

It is possible to display data from an SQL database in both WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 without coding. To display data you need to open a list with SharePoint Designer, add a Data View to the list, define a connection to the SQL database, and the query the data with a SELECT statement.

With SharePoint Designer you can do SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, which allows you to make some quite useful applicaions in WSS or MOSS.

Microsoft has this guide for adding db connections: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101009081033.aspx

Otherwise..
1) Open SharePoint Designer
2) Open the correct site and navigate to the list where you want to show the data
3) Doubleclick the view name (e.g. AllItems.aspx)
4) Click on the view then click 'Insert' -> 'SharePoint Controls' -> 'Data View'
5) In the 'Data Source Library' window select 'Database Connections' -> 'Connect to a database'
6) Follow the Wizard, click save and the data is returned to the view.


Alternatively, Bamboo Solutions has a web part that will create sql views from lists for you. You can download a trial version and try it out. http://store.bamboosolutions.com/pc-30-1-sql-view-web-part-release-12.aspx
Hope this gives you alternate options
