Hi All,
I have been asked by a web developer who is doing some work as a contractor for a mutual client to give him access to my clients MS SQL server.
They currently have a eCommerce website which I believe exports order info as a CSV files which is then imported into the back end of the clients stock control and planning system which runs a MS SQL database.
What this developer wants is to stop this process and instead have a direct connection to the stock system and SQL database but I am not sure how to give him access.
I have read about port forwarding port 1433 on the router to the SQL server which I understand would work if I wanted to access a remote SQL server using Microsoft SQl management studio but he will be connecting from a webserver (Windows based) so how would this work and has anybody got any better suggestions.
