Microsoft Rinses SOAP Out of SQL Server 2008

Posted by timothy on from the squish-splurtsch-splqlsh dept.

Julie188 writes "A Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fan toppled over in surprise when he got this error message from SQL Server 2008 (he was running the SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor tool): 'In SQL Server 2008, SQL Server native SOAP has been deprecated and will be removed in a future SQL Server release ... Avoid use of SQL server native SOAP in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use it.' No more SOAP-based Web services for your SQL Server database? Native XML was only added in v.2005 and was much ballyhooed at that time."

    Well yea, if you use SOAP in your hair it will get all nasty. SHAMPOO is better.

    SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

    Actually no: since SOAP version 1.2 SOAP is not an acronym anymore because it has nothing that is "simple".

    Now we'll just have to build an open source REST/SOAP bridge, if one doesn't already exist! ;)
