Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Web Services consists of the ASE Web Services Engine that runs independently of Adaptive Server Enterprise.
The ASE Web Services Engine provides the following functionality:
Enables client applications to access SQL and stored procedures in Adaptive Server Enterprise using SOAP.
Enables Adaptive Server Enterprise to access the Web services of other applications. These external Web services are mapped to Adaptive Server Enterprise proxy tables at runtime.
Provides user-defined Web services, which enable the execution of SQL commands in Adaptive Server Enterprise using a Web browser or SOAP client.
For more information on the ASE Web Services Engine, see Chapter 2, “Understanding the ASE Web Services Engine.”
