I am one of the developer of [url]http://www.lokad.com[/url], an online provider of time-series forecasting. Basically a customer can upload its data and download its forecasts through web services.

In order to facilitate the integration of Lokad, we are currently considering a solution that use the CLR integration of SQL Server 2005 so that our customers could be able to interact with the Lokad Web Services directly through SQL.

Question: is-it a "no-no" to call Web Services from the SQL Server? Should such processing stay outside the DB Server or not? (possible issues are performance and security)

Does anyone has a clue?

Thanks in advance,
Joannès

create a web service interface on your web server and let that access the server.
i personally wouldn't let sql server access webservices.
