I am looking at SQL server, and this looks like a good a place as I can find to post some questions.
Firstly, Can SQL be connected to a live stock data feed, via a com interface or via .net (the package I am looking at can connect to visual studio) as SQL has .net connectivity could they be linked?
.net is prefered of course over com interface
Second, the data collected by SQL server can be remotely accessed by PC's on the network and then fed to a com interface so i can pass to a charting package
(and sql can also be accessed via a vpn?)
Third. I can program a bit in VB not alot are those skills usefull in SQL server?
Thanks
