Getting Data from SS via HTTP

[rc]

I'm NO Windows Dev/Sql Sever guy...

I need to query an SS2k database - FROM stored procedure in Oracle/Unix -
result set mostly is just one single record.

I'm thinking of getting around all the "Gateway", "ODBC", "Generic Service",
"this/that Client" crap (it's quite confusing)
by getting that string of data via HTTP ---

so a few lines of SQL + ASP on SS2K/Windows end and I can read in the
string in the s.procedure in Oracle.

This is not a heavy-traffic OLTP application

What do you think...is this a good approach ? do you see anything wrong ?

thanks
