Progress Sonic Database Service

Progress® Sonic Database Service™ simplifies access and reuse of relational data sources in a service-oriented architecture. Eliminating inflexible and costly custom coding, the Sonic Database Service makes it easy to configure and execute queries, updates and stored procedures as broadly-available services on Sonic ESB. Out-of-the-box connectivity is provided for leading relational databases including Progress, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Informix and Sybase.

Sonic Database Service automatically populates SQL query parameters based on incoming XML message parameters, and transforms resultsets back to XML. ESB-enabled, the Sonic Database Service also provides remote administration of database connections and configuration through Sonic Management Console.

Sonic Database Service automates the steps to extract and translate XML data from an incoming message, call a database and translate and insert the resultset into an XML message. Using standard SQL and configuring input/output parameters (vs. using third-generation languages to code variables and transformations) shortens the development-to-deployment cycle, reduces the amount of code to maintain and improves database portability.

Sonic Database Service drivers are compliant with the JDBC 3.0 specification and advanced functionality is provided to increase the scalability and reliability of database operations including client load balancing, connection pooling, connection failover and connection retry.
