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.
