Newbie to web-services, so asking few basic questions
I have a some data around 50 MB in MS Excel, I plan to host a web-service, to implement a simple functionality
- user app will be populated with country name, city names (This info will be feched from webservice
- on selecting country and city, user will be provided with city’s details (ex. ranking, etc)
I plan to make web-service in ASP.NET ( reason for choosing ASP.NET: probably it is simple), so
- Which data base to choose? only read operations to be done.also data base size will remain <50 MB
- Can ms excel direcltly be used?
- Do i need to export excel to some data base and then use that database to establish connectivity with ASP.NET web service?
Please share.
Transfer data to mysql and using mysql db to access from the web-service.
This is the approach i finally used.
