Re: Database distant access

This really isn't a database theory question and you would probably be
better off posting to the database board for whatever kind of database
you possess.

Generally to enable web based access to your database an application
must be written that runs on a web server and that application performs
the access.

You can open the database to access by clients that run on your network
but I do not think you would want to open the database to clients that
run anywhere on the Internet as this would be a very large security
hole.

You could provide the remote client dial-in or vpn access that would
allow them to access the database as if the client were just another
local user.  This just requires buying a dial-in access product or
obtaining a vpn server and software.
