I'm jumping to conclusions but how exactly robust is the new URI interface
for SQL queries?  I mean can you use an href or URI to submit a query into
the SQL2000 database? And if so could you use the Extended XLink to
aggregate data sources?

I'm just rambiling but could you effectivly draw from multiple data sources
and aggregate the data identified from separate namespaces that infer a said
users data requirements?

Thanks if this is at all possible I would be very....very e*d.  The
ramifications for data feeds would be immense!..

Thank,

Eric

a) if you do it clientside, you have to be really really carefull about
security
b) if you do it serverside you could run into the wininet server issue, but
assuming you use a 3rd party socket library you are fine.

So tell me Frank have you come across any good code examples of use of XLink
in this fashion?

I have this nifty book VB and XML and it has shown me the XML "Light" and
well there are inferences to the future potential of this technology but
refuses to give any 'real' examples of possible implementation of such a
plan.

I have kind of jumped the gun here but...is anyone out there doing this kind
of thing...(the XLink with SQL2000 xml query interfaces to aggregate
datasources)

This is fascinating stuff and I would love to start implementing this if
it's possible.

Thanks a Million!
