I have no experience on connecting web apps to a SQL server on a different machine through web services.

Are there standard web services that are supposed to be used?

Also, why wouldn’t it be possible to connect to the SQL server on a “normal” way?

EDIT:

basically, I’m working on a new web application that needs a database. The client came back saying that they have a server but that it’s only accessible by web services.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

EDIT 2:

    The client came back saying that they have a server but that it’s only accessible by web services.

    This to me means that they have Web Services setup that your application will need to connect to and call into in order to access their database. In this case the “standard” web services are just the ones that the client provides.

    If the client says you are going to need to use web services, well, that’s just the way you are going to have to get at their data.
