With respect to an application that has both a web and desktop client version:
- What is the best practice for the desktop client which needs access to a SQL Server?
- What are the benefits of connecting to the database from the application vs using a web service?
- Which one provides better security?
- What type of scope would call for one vs the other (enterprise intranet vs. web app, etc)
- Are there any other considerations that are necessary when choosing on platform?
