Re: PHP and SQL web developer re-creates all business logic found in RPG programs

Furthermore, there are platforms that IBM doesn't make drivers for, and

web services would be useful there as well

Not only that, but there are operations for which we want a web service
that have nothing to do with a database. Yes, on i everything is "in"
the database, but from the average programmers point of view the
database is for data!

For example, we have a web service that converts word docs to PDF (it's
a front-end to openoffice), from the average programmer's point of view,
what the heck does that have to do with the database? Nothing. So why
would I access it via a stored proc.
