Introduction

The purpose of Service Data Objects (SDOs) is to provide the ability to securely execute SQL on the database server from Aptify Web and Aptify SOA, returning the results to the caller.  The flexibility of being able to execute SQL statements, including stored procedures, without opening up the service layer to SQL injection attacks is a powerful feature in Aptify SOA.  System administrators and developers have control over which SQL statements can be executed through the Services Data Objects Entity.  Service Data Objects are executed by Name, not the SQL that executes.  Aptify SOA looks up the Service Data Object, confirms that the current platform and User are allowed to execute the Service Data Object, retrieves the SQL statement from the Service Data Object record, executes it and returns the results to the caller.
