Enabling additional database connection options in a stand-alone Visual Studio shell application?

When you run the isolated shell shell application, the only databases available in Tools-> Connect to Database are Access, SQL Compact, and the SQL Server database file.

Is there a way to set up an isolated shell to include other types of databases? In particular, SQL Server and MySQL. Are there any licensing issues related to SQL Server support?

Perhaps this was intentional. These connection parameters correspond to those provided by freely available versions of Visual Studio Express Edition. In real Visual Studio, you must have Professional Edition or better to access standalone database servers. (Actually, this limitation is one of the main reasons many developers buy Visual Studio.)
