Question for the "the system's behavior needs to be in the dbms" people:
My current view of a dbms is that it's a place to store stuff.
Obviously, it can be much more than that.
Say I'm writing an e-commerce website. I'm restricted to cheap and/or
free databases, but feel free to assume that I'm not.
The credit card supplied with the order needs to be verified against an
external encrypted web service. If the order goes through, then it
needs to notify another web service that fulfills the order. Once UPS
ships, I need to get that information from UPS. If all the rules for
the sytem are in the dmbs, can the dbms do all that external stuff?
Perhaps through stored procs?
Thanks,
Joe
