Abstract: A first electronic computing device includes a processing unit and system memory. A first electronic database is installed on the first electronic computing device. The system memory includes instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the first electronic database to receive a request from a second electronic computing device to access information stored on the first electronic database. A web services catalog that is part of the first electronic database is used to determine an access authorization level for the request. When a determination is made that the access authorization level is valid for the request, a security check is performed on a syntax of the access request. When a determination is made that the syntax is valid, the requested information is obtained from one or more tables in the first electronic database and the requested information is sent to the second electronic computing device.
