SMS using direct database access
With ActiveXperts SMS Messaging Server, it is easy to send and receive
SMS messages. The core of the product runs in the background on a
Windows machine (32-bit or 64-bit). Messages are stored in a database
(MS Access, MS SQL or MySQL). You can easily send out SMS messages by
creating new messages in the database:

SMS using API

It's easy to send SMS messages from other applications. This can be a
custom application (e.g. C#, VB.NET) or an existing application (e.g. MS
Excel, MS Access) that makes use of the API:

How SMS Messaging Server works

ActiveXperts SMS Messaging Server

Runs as a service on Windows, 32 or 64 bit

Message database can be MS SQL (Express), MySQL or MS Access

Use API to send, receive and process messages

Use your favorite programming tool, e.g. VBScript, CSharp, etc.

Database
The 'Message database' plays a central role in the SMS Messaging Server.
It contains incoming and outgoing messages. This database can be MS SQL
Server (Express), MySQL or MS Access.
To send out a message, you should create a record is created in the
Message database. This can be done in several ways:

Direct database access (SQL statements)

Custom application or script, using SMS Messaging Server API

Tools that ship with the product

The service, running in the background, reads the record from the
database and sends out the message to the recipient.

Manager and Monitor

The SMS Messaging Server ships with two graphical applications: the SMS
Messaging Server Manager to view messages and configure the system, and
the SMS Messaging Monitor to monitor all communication channels, realtime.

API
The SMS Messaging Server allows you to create, delete and modify
in/outgoing messages, as well as process incoming messages. The API can
be used in any ActiveX/COM compliant development language, incl.
VBScript, Javascript, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, Visual Basic,
Visual C++, ASP, ASP .NET, PHP, Delphi and more.
The first API sample illustrates how to create SMS messages from a
script. The second API sample illustrates how incoming messages can be
processed.
