Adaptive Server anywhere Access Web services

Adaptive Server Anywhere has a flexible programming language that you use to write stored procedures, triggers, events, Java stored procedures, and schedules to allow you to add more business logic to your database. The adaptive Server Anywhere database can be copied from one machine to another, enabling business logic to be deployed with the data.

The ability to produce business logic code in a database also extends to Web services. You can call an external Web service in the stored procedure definition so that it can be invoked by the client application. For example, when a client application calls the following stored procedure, it returns a document from example.com:

CREATE PROCEDURE MyOperation
(a INTEGER, b CHAR(128) )
URL ’http://www.example.com/webservice’
TYPE ’SOAP:DOC’
