There's really no reason why you shouldn't be able to use a different 
client. Client/server communication is standarised and it should not 
be affected by the SQL code. We will try to add some debug information 
in the code in order to see what's going on.

Do you see if there is any database communication at all? (snooping 
the loopback interface for example) Do you see if the host / session 
/hostsession tables are being updated when you run a scan?

As a matter of fact you should be albe to see information from the 
scan in real time when you are using the database code, since the 
tables are updated when the session starts/ends, while the host is 
being scanned, etc.
