What structure can I use to connect to an instance of SQL Server from an iPhone?

Question

I need to write an iPhone application to connect an instance of SQL Server, but I cannot figure out which infrastructure I could use to do this. Can I use an ODBC system? Any links would be appreciated.

Please do not tell me to use the web service as this is not suitable for this situation.

EDIT: I am creating an SQL query for iPhone. I don't want my users to set up a web service if they just want to query a couple of tables in their database.
