SQL Server English Query

[Brian Scott]

Was reading about the facility in SQL Server 2000 to submit a verbal english
statement and have it translated to SQL syntax.

Does this have to be used standalone or can it be used as a module in C
Sharp? I want to allow the user to enter an english question and have the
dataset returned.

Regards, Brian.

Hi Brian,

The SQL Server 2000 English query provides automation interface. Previously
you can use it in ASP, Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. automation-capable
clients to call the library. In .NET, we need to use COM Interop service
provided by .NET to call COM automation server.
