Is it possible to connect a SQL server database to any NNTP server

Hi
This would mean re-writing the NNTP server application so that it stores and
retrieves the messages in the database rather than having an archive
facility?
You should therefore need to either look for a NNTP package that already
uses SQL Server (such as the one mentioned in this thread
http://tinyurl.com/dmeds) or write your own data access routines for an
existing package.

Yes, I think so. However, I am not sure which books I need to read or which
sections of MSDN I need to refer to for learning how to create such server
applications.

I have been using Lyris ListManager for many years which already has this
functionality. However, I am just learning VS 2005 so I thought a good way
to learn would be to try to create such an application on my own.

Hi
How to write a NNTP server in VC2005 is mainly a VC2005 issue so you may
want to post to a more appropriate group. There are many examples of using
VC++ and data access include in the SQL server examples and VC++ examples.
