Guys i want to make a system that can access a mysql database through the internet. Does this mean that i going to assign the IP address of my database server to the IP given by the provider? like for example 110.92.221.70.. is this valid as the ip address that i will use in the program? anyone who has an idea to solve this?

Better to put the database in some FTP server and access that through the net using the Ip address with username and password for security.

can vb6 really do this type of setup? or vb.net? because the program will be distributed in different locations.. i've some people used protals with oracle database.. what is the usuall way of doing this?
