Connecting to a SQL database not on DiscountASP.net server

Discussion in 'Databases' started by Plightstone, Apr 21, 2015.

  1. I have a client who themselves have a client that doesn't want to do double-entry of their data but simply wants to give access to their SQL database so we can import into our database on DiscountASP.net. Is their any limitation to me building an ASP page that connects to their database, using their supplied credentials, and inserts their data into one of our databases? Sorry if this is confusing. Thank you for your help.

    A page/site on our network pulling data from elsewhere and inserting it into a database on our network wouldn't be a problem. If the remote database will allow you to connect from here, you should be fine.

    We do not have any outbound restriction. Make sure they allow connection through port 1433.
     
  4. Thank you both so much. Cheers!
