Looking for SQL Databases for

Hello,

I am currently looking for databases that contain available prescription
medications and diagnosis codes (i.e. ICD9 medical diagnosis codes) that
have been created using SQL.

Anybody know of companies that have these commerically available?

Thanks,
EricHi

The list of drugs available for prescription will be governed by the
authorising body in the country that you are in, therefore I would suggest
you contact them to find out who will supply these codes. The good thing
about SQL Server is that even if the codes are not supplied as a SQL Server
database
it is very easy to import or link to databases of other formats. For
importing check out DTS for linking check out Linked Servers in Books
online.

For the Clinical Terms then check out SNOMED http://www.snomed.org/.
