[dba-VB] Access data across the internet

Hi Doug,

You can read about/investigate Amazon Web Services (AWS):

http://aws.amazon.com/

The fact is that many businesses are built using AWS, and the number of such
businesses is only growing day by day...

Thank you.

Hi Gustav (and Shamil)

I've been following this discussion with some interest.  My impression of
web services is that they are basically for publishing information (like a
parts catalogue) which could be read and used by clients.  I gather that
this is not the whole picture.

I've spent several hours on the web recently trying to get more information;
however I have yet to stumble on a site which gives a clear explanation
and/or some practical examples.  Do you have any good references?

Thanks,

Doug Steele
