Displaying contents from database in an applet

  1. Default Displaying contents from database in an applet

    I have created a connection to an MSAccess database, but I am unable to
    display the results in an webbrowser. My question is therefore how do I
    retrieve and displaty the records of my database on a webpage?

    Kind regards

    I should think that the best way is to use server-side technologies
    (JSP, servlets, etc) rather than an applet. Or possibly a combination of
    the two.

    Even if Access was a server database (it's not - it's file-based) it
    would almost certainly be a Bad Idea to open it up to the public
    internet for just any bugger to attack your server. Keep everything on
    the server and only allow HTTP access, and you don't have that problem.

    BTW, Access is a distinctly suboptimal solution for this type of work.
    You'd do well to explore some of the better free DBMSs such as MySQL or
    PostgreSQL (which has a native Windows installer as of the latest release).
