Service Broker

October 11th, 2009

Service Broker is a new technology in SQL Server 2005 and provides a solution to message delivery issues that occur while transferring transactional data from one server to another. This technology provides a message-based communication platform and is part of the Database Engine. Database developers develop secure, reliable, and scalable applications with the help of Service Broker. Service Broker is used for the applications that use a single instance of SQL Server 2005 as well as for those that use multiple instances of SQL Server 2005 across the network. It provides reliable messaging between multiple instances of SQL Server 2005. It uses TCP/IP protocol to exchange messages between instances of SQL Server 2005, prevents unauthorized users from accessing the network, and encrypts messages that are sent over the network. It provides a robust asynchronous programming model. Asynchronous programming is the most popular technique in database application programming. In asynchronous programming, the Database Engine handles commands while the application continues to run. Asynchronous programming minimizes response time and enhances application throughput of database applications.
