If you absolutely must call a WCF service from inside your database, here’s how you do it...
When I was an operations DBA, this would probably fall into the category of “just because you can do something, doesn’t mean that you should”:
Call a WCF Service from SQLCLR (by Niels Berglund)
However, there are probably a couple of good scenarios where I might advocate for doing just this in future projects, especially if the customers have experienced DBAs and don’t have an existing middle tier admin group. (They exist. I consulted for a couple.)
I’m encouraging Niels to formalize this a bit and put in CodePlex or Code Gallery.
Cool stuff!
