Convert COM objects to Stored Procedure

Is there a 3rd party utility program that can convert complex COM objects
and DLLs to SQL Server stored procedures?
Thanks,
I doubt it. Are you asking about SQL Server 2000 or 2005? In SQL Server 2000
stored procedures are primarily for data manipulation. Data manipulation
should generally be set-based and declarative so the most efficient approach
to implementing procedural code in Transact SQL is usually to rewrite it as
set-based SQL - not something that is ever likely to automate well. As for
calling external COM code from SQL Server 2000, your main options are to
write an extended stored procedure or to use the sp_OA procs to invoke COM
objects from your procs.
SQL Server 2005 is a different matter. You can now catalogue .NET2.0 CLR
assemblies and call them directly as stored procedures. If you can implement
your COM as CLR code then in principle you may be able to run that code in
SQL Server 2005. That's not to say that it would always be a good idea to do
so. Data manipulation stuff will generally still be best implemented in SQL.
