Naveen, As Axton has already pointed out...it's not very cut and dry....additional things you need to think about when doing DB integrations is translation of enumeration values...always fun.

I want to know your views on this. Let us imagine we have systems, SYS-A(Remedy with its backend) and SYS-B(another platform app(like java,.NET etc) with its backend). Now if i want the data from both these systems to flow from each other for certain interactions, lets say i have the possibility of below methods. Method-1) I use web-services exposed from both sides to mutually call and get the input/output approprately and thus i acheive transactions. Method-2) I expose some relavant schema details as DB links and then i access them from where ever required (as view forms Remedy). Now i want to know about the pros and cons of above methods with respect to . I always feel that Method 2 is kind of crude way of implementing, but in a way i get this feeling from many i talked, that it is an easier and effortless way to go about it. Still thinking on a long term, reliability, data-transfer speed etc factors.
