|
Category: SOAP and Web Services
Date: Wed, Sep 12, 2001 |
As of September 2001, there are around seventy (70) toolkits available from various sources including Microsoft, Apache, Cape Clear, and so on, to aid develop SOAP client and/or server applications. The question is which one should you use? The answer is – it depends! If you are used to Microsoft technologies, you may go with Microsoft SOAP Toolkit or .NET Framework SDK, depending on which platform you are developing on; however if you like the "tim-toady" way of programming, the best bet for you would be to use SOAP::Lite for Perl, developed by Paul Kulchenko.

The options include using FOR XML clause with SELECT statement, ADO Recordset's Save method with adPersistXML parameter, etc. It would be nice to have a reverse mechanism, which allows turning XML document into tabular, relational rowset format. The good news is that SQL Server 2000 team thought about this and introduced a new Transact-SQL keyword named OPENXML along with two new supporting system stored procedures: sp_xml_preparedocument and sp_xml_removedocument. |
