US 2006/0136351 A1 · Techniques for automatically exposing, as web services, procedures and functions stored in a database

Abstract

A database server that manages a database retrieves metadata that is stored, within the database, in association with a procedure that is stored in the database. Based on the metadata, a Web service definition is automatically constructed to describe the procedure as a Web service. The WSDL definition can be referenced to construct SOAP messages with the appropriate arguments and in the appropriate format which, when received, are converted to a suitable format for invoking execution of the procedure by the database server.
