     PSPP doesn't have special features for that.

However, depending on exactly what you mean by "database", you may not need any
special fetaures.   

If you mean a system file PSPP can access network files just like any other 
files.  Of
course if two users try to write to the same file, you will need to take 
precautions
against data loss, but reading from the same file should work without problem.

If however by "database" you mean a relational database, then PSPP currently 
can access
only Postgres databases.  ODBC is not yet supported.
