We have a system in which the data is replicated from an external 3rd party source (which I have no control over).
The only way of manipulating the source data is via a Web Service.

For each newly replicated row I have to update another table in the external DB by sending a web request.

I know that it can be achieved by simply writing an SQLCLR routine that’ll send http request.
My question is : is this the correct way to go about this from the architectural standpoint ? Isn’t it considered as misuse of CLR integration ?

    I would say you have identified a great scenario for use of CLR. Microsoft publishes a good overview of CLR vs TSQL and when to use one and not the other – I’ve included link below.

    Since you are accessing resources outside of SQL Server through .Net technologies I think your approach gets a pretty clear vote for CLR.
