Hi All, First question is this. A while ago I tested GitHub - geral2/SQL-APIConsumer: Database Project with generic procedures to consume API through GET/POST methods. to add into SQL Server 2019 SE...

Hi Ronen_Ariely,
thank you very much for getting back to me. I really appreciate that.
Sorry for being a while to reply but I have been very busy.
1. Thanks for letting me know that the features of that software have not been implemented in SQL Server 2022 SE. Yes, I meant Standard Edition. We are trying to make everything we do work on SE because that helps us keep our costs down. We are planning to make REST sources available in the products we are developing.
2. Yes, that was the answers link I mean. I was not active on MSDN for a while and then when I came back it had gone. I searched around and found Answers. But as you say, it's not the place hard core techs hang out. I could not figure out where MSDN went. That was the best place to be for the longest time. I will use Q&A from now on I guess.
I seem to have a profile there so I must have registered at some point.
3. Yes, I know stack overflow and others. But MSDN was always my go to place. I generally have very few questions I want to ask because we have not been doing "new" stuff on MSFT software for a long time. Nothing so new or complex that I have been asking any questions.
But...last year we decided we were going to "bite the bullet" and take the leap into "all things Azure". And as you know there is a LOT to learn when you take that leap. So we will have some questions now. We bought the MAP and CSP and plan to build an end to end BI solution for Business Central.
Azure has not been a "big deal" over here until relatively recently. There was a local company that had a very good market share for hosted machines and it was much cheaper than Azure. But MSFT are making in roads. Our main client moved to Azure from the other vendor and that was the "nudge" we needed to make our move as well.
So, nice to meet you, nice to be here. And thank you for your help.
I will be as efficient as possible in asking questions because I have done the "customer support" role myself as a young man and so I don't like asking questions I should find the answers to for myself.
Best Regards
Peter

Hi PeterJones
Please read carefully what I say and not what you want to hear, since you are quoting things I did not say!
> Thanks for letting me know that the features of that software have not been implemented in SQL Server 2022 SE.
Where did I said this?!?
I explicitly said that "if you are using the same edition" and that "I am not sure which functionality you speak about"!
> I could not figure out where MSDN went.
Now you know
It was officially moved to the QnA forums:
https://docs.microsoft.com/answers
> I seem to have a profile there so I must have registered at some point.
It's the same profile used for all the Docs (the QnA forums team and the Docs team are working under the same leading), so maybe you registered in the past to a different activity.
> Yes, I know stack overflow and others. But MSDN was always my go to place.
For me as well.
The MSDN was my favorit forum!
Tens time better community than any other place (in my opinion)
> We bought the MAP and CSP...
I have no idea what you speak about.
You should always remember that we are not inside your head, and each combination of three characters probably have two or two hundreds meaning
> So, nice to meet you, nice to be here. And thank you for your help.
You are most welcome Nice to meet
