Synchronize NS Data with External Database?
(1.) Is there a generally recognized best practice for synchronizing NS data with an external database? (It's now being done manually via saved search export and mySQL import.)
(2.) If the answer is, "Web services," does that entail running a Web service on the external system and calling that service from NS whenever a relevant NS record changes? (The external system supports PHP, so I guess I'd write a Web service in PHP if the hosting service supports it.)
(3.) If synchronization is done via a scheduled NS script, does that also entail calling a Web service for each record to be updated?
