I have the following scenario
some real basic rest web service mainly, I'm just checking the existence of a single record, it's just a single validation, I'm not moving around hundreds of rows...
that should be called from sql 2005, sql 2008... and yes sql 2000 and sql 6.5 (ouch!)
I guess with sql 2005 and 2008 I could implement an assembly with HttpWebRequest...
how about sql 2000 and 6.5??? maybe using curl thru xp_cmdshell ???
has anybody tried doing something like that?
