It is possible.
On Windows, you can use either Ruby/ODBC or Ruby/DBI with the ODBC or 
ADO drivers (and SQLRelay?).

If you want to access the database from Linux, you need to run a 
proxy-server on the windows-machine (ships with Ruby/DBI). But this 
approach is of course not optimal, it might be too much overhead for 
your purposes.
