SOA with SQL Server
A key component to any distributed architecture built with SOA methodologies in mind is the database infrastructure. Service Oriented Database Architecture (SODA) is much easier to implement and much more robust with features present in SQL Server 2005 and the 2008 release. Technologies such as Service Broker, Native Web Services, Query Notifications, and the SQL CLR built-in to SQL Server provide the ability to fully realize the SODA architecture, explains Chad Boyd in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Great Indian Developer Summit.
Chad is an Architect, Administrator, and Developer with technologies such as SQL Server (and all related technologies), Windows Server, and Windows Clustering. He works with Gratis Internet Inc., an online marketing firm based in Washington, DC, and also spends a significant amount of time writing, talking, presenting and blogging about SQL Server. In the past, Chad has worked with companies and organizations such as Microsoft Corporation and The American Red Cross, and provided consulting/support services at companies such as Bank of America, HP, Citigroup, Qualcomm, Scottrade, TJX, SunTrust, and Zurich Financial Services. For over 2 years with Microsoft Corporation Chad was responsible for providing onsite and remote support, guidance, and advice with SQL Server products to some of Microsoft's foremost enterprise customers running the largest, most complex SQL Server installations and configurations in the world.
