    You don't connect directly to a database on a server. Instead you should send a POST/GET http requests.

    ASP.NET and PHP are popular choices for the server side. Personally, I like to use PHP and receive JSON results if I just need some simple data from an online database because it's easy to set up a development environment with Xammp and JSON is a real pleasure to work with.
