Apps Android app using data from existing MS SQL database?

[Ruig]

Hey guys,

I am working on an android app that needs to use data from a existing MS SQL database for my login system and a few other queries. What is the easiest way to do this?

Can i use SQLite?
If not, it must be a ASP API that does the job, are there any existing ones?

Thanks!

No need for ASP API if your ASP script can output JSON data, your Android app just has to parse the JSON data.

You can convert an existing ASP login script to get JSON data or have someone to do the job for you.

You can use any database engine you want, it depends mostly on your web server's implementation, you usually have MS SQL for IIS/ASP or MySQL for Apache/PHP.
