Abstract :
A novel SQL Tunnelling system to allow communication with an SQL database is developed by utilising the standard Internet protocol HTTP. The communication with the database is allowed by a client interacting with a Web Service running on a standard off-the-shelf HTTP Server. With this tunnelling system, access to a database can be provided without providing access to the database native communication port. This can be useful if a database application needs to be made available on insecure networks, such as Internet, or if firewalls between client and server does not accept anything other than the normal HTTP communications.
