title: How can I interface an Android app with SQL Server?
body: <p>This is my problem:</p>
  
  <p>I have to make an Android app that recover some data from an existing database situated on a Microsoft <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server" rel="nofollow">SQL Server</a> installation on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2003" rel="nofollow">Windows Server 2003</a>. I don't know so much about server-side programming languages, so I'm searching on the Internet, and I've found that I have to use a Web Service between my app and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages" rel="nofollow">ASP Classic</a> page that connect to the database.</p>
  
  <p>I also found that I have to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP" rel="nofollow">SOAP</a> to send data to the server with my app, using the ksoap2 library on Android, and I found how to configure it on the client side. But I can't find how to configure the WebService and which format is better for interfacing my app and the ASP Classic page. </p>
