Neither. I am referring to completely freelance contract work. In the last
six months, I've seen (thinks...) fourteen former clients, one former
workmate and two distant acquaintances start small businesses this way.

The jobs they perform are a little more diverse than JUST database
programming, but they are MOSTLY database programming; at least, that's
what they advertise. However their clients do get them to do other things;
install new hardware, run network cables, etc. "while they're
there".

A $50 advertisement in one of the cheaper swapmeet rags will get good results.
