Abstract
This chapter focuses on the creation of a business-to-business, or a supply chain application that have been named “Wholesale Catalog.” The Wholesale Catalog deals with a number of issues one faces when connecting different systems together, with the exception of using XML as the encoding format of information. In short, the Wholesale Catalog is kept synchronized online with the catalog of different suppliers. Each supplier has its own format of XML documents that needs to be unified for the Wholesale Catalog. The chapter discusses the differences between XML and traditional databases. XML, while a powerful tool for transmitting database information, does not currently have adequate encryption and cannot perform as fast as a database when dealing with large record-sets. However, XML is perfect for dealing with small parts of data that do not pose any type of security problem. The chapter also describes how to transport this data and how it might be wrapped. The final database application enveloped many different skills, along with organized program coding. By being able to work with both XML and ADO.NET, a developer is able to expand his programming skills and facilitate data communication.
