Is it possible?
This may be an easy one for a real webmaster. But,the company that I work for has a website hosted by a commercial server. We also have a database on our own intranet. We would like to have customers access some of the database through the website. Can this be done or do we have to load our database to remote server? One more problem the Database is on a Unix server.
Thanks in advance or your comments or suggestions.
I am not the Webmaster or the database programmer but a solution would score me some huge points.

Well I'm no expert, but wouldn't allowing access by anyone to your intranet from the internet pose a security risk??
I have a friend who works with intranets a ton, I can ask him about this tonight, I'm kinda curious now too =)

Hi, the best thing to do would be to create a new database only with the data you want the user online to have and to use. Then upload this, with your connect string (Which i'm having problems with so if any one can help?) then your away.
What website is it? and what will the users see and have to use?

if you have a static ip adress you can connect to your db server from the internet or from any webserver if you configure the database permision and your firewall properly. If your website is done with security in mind there shouldn't be any probleme.
