No not at all. A SP is just an object in the db, just like a view or a maintenance job. I am speaking of a SEPARATION in access all data from your site. You pass to this new layer, Web Service, and it does what you want. That could be posting a transaction to a table or it could be an elaborate process to determine how much credit should be extended to a new client. Do you see this as a step towards OOP? Your GUI messages your Data Access or Business Rules to process code to perform what the Message needs accomplished. In a security environment you now no longer need a programmer to change the hard coded UserID/PW needed for this "secure" access to the db. Now you can have a network engineer make the change in the WS that runs between the client (Web or Winform, Air, etc ) A lot of thought is put into this and this is better from design and maintenance standards today. You do NOT have to test an application because of a change a developer was supposed to make. When you work with companies that have these check offs this is a major plus. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
