Hi Olivia,

I don't have any examples that specifically deal with databases.

But what NowSMS does, is that when it receives an SMS message, it can connect to an HTTP script, passing details about the received message to the HTTP script.

The HTTP script is typically written in something like PHP, ASP, Perl, or Java. And this HTTP script is typically installed on a separate web server. (You might have NowSMS and the web server installed on the same machine, but my point here is that they are logically separate entities, and the web server is separate and independent of NowSMS.)

The following link talks about general configuration of the 2-way interface:

http://www.nowsms.com/documentation/ProductDocumentation/2_way_sms_support.htm

Also, the following thread has some examples:

http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/1/4520.html

None of the examples interface with a database, as that would be specific to your database application, but they do show how the parameters are passed to a script. Most of the examples are PHP based, but there is a link to a simple ASP example, and a simple Windows script example.
