How to Create or Alter a Web Service

Creating or altering a web service requires use of the CREATE SERVICE or ALTER SERVICE statement, respectively. This section illustrates how to execute these statements with Interactive SQL to create different kinds of web services. The examples in this section assume that you have connected to an SAP Sybase IQ database, your-database.db, through Interactive SQL using the following command:

dbisql -c "dbf=your-database.db;uid=your-userid;pwd=your-password"

• How to Create HTTP Web Services
  HTTP web services are classified as HTML, XML or RAW. All HTTP web services can be created or altered using the same CREATE SERVICE and ALTER SERVICE statement syntax.
• How to Create SOAP Over HTTP Services
  SOAP is a data interchange standard supported by many development environments.
• How to Create DISH Services
  SAP Sybase IQ allows you to create DISH services that act as SOAP endpoints for groups of SOAP services. DISH services also automatically construct WSDL (Web Services Description Language) documents that allow SOAP client toolkits to generate the interfaces necessary to interchange data with the SOAP services described by the WSDL.
