Product comparison sites

[UKTyler]

Hi there. I've been looking at the various product/price comparison sites out
there and feel I can do a better job comparing one of the products most of
these sites cover.
I don't wish to go into detail on that specifically, but what I would like to
know is:

What would be the easiest way to remotely query mutiple databases across many
different servers?
I read that using a web service might be most appropriate but am not entirely
sure.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Unless the information is publically available such as via a webservice or
an XML feed then you can not simply grab data from other sites.

And I guess if I do have their permission all I need do is just use a Dsn. "D'oh!"

Thanks

A DSN won't be much use to you either as it will only work on the server it
was created on.

K, thanks...used to be into this more but put it down for a while and then came
the idea...
Just found out that the main site I'll need to query has a data feed on offer
anyway, I'll work out the rest.

Thanks!
