Sorry for the off topic post, but this is just to finish up a comment about
XML I made earlier.
Biztalk is the MS implementation, but SOAP is the protocol that wraps XML
around the data. Here is a quote:
Abstract
SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a
decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that
consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing
what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for
expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for
representing remote procedure calls and responses. SOAP can potentially be
used in combination with a variety of other protocols; however, the only
bindings defined in this document describe how to use SOAP in combination
with HTTP and HTTP Extension Framework.
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/
It is not an MS technology.
But in regards to someone else's comment earlier, makes the idea of
postgresql support for XML interesting.
