Hi,I have very little knowledge of Lotus Domino but I guess there are ways to integrate with other systems. My specific needs are:
Replicate e-mails, with information in a specific field, and attachments to another database (SQL Server)
Create reminders to calendars in Lotus Notes
Are there webservices ready in Domino for this kind of integration or do they have to be developed?
Or is it better to use NotesSQL?
Other suggestions?
Hope someone can point me in the right direction

Subject: I don’t think you are really going to find what you are currently looking for.
a) Replication into another Server - There is some functionality for IBM DB2, but nothing else, it is powerful, but takes special know how, too.
b) NotesSQL is from the point of view of folks used to SQL more than slow. Reason is basically the way different Database Engine.
On the other hand, most likely all what you suggest could be done in Lotus Script or from Visual Basic (or VBA) from some other place outside of notes.
Hope this helps.
Subject: Yes, I hoped it could be done from the “outside”
Using .NET. You don’t think that’s any problem?
Subject: Well, if you go Visual Basic from the outside, you still have to deal with the Class Libraries for all you do.
In the meaning that this can most likely all you ask for (and a few things more) but you won’t get anywhere near something like SQL there, too. I think you need to learn quite some Domino Basics and Programming (or get help from someone able to offer it).
Subject: You could take a look at LEI for the integration with another database
