I am in the process of building a "web service" of sorts. I have a
multi-table database storing information. I have a series of php
scripts that display that information to the user via a web browser. I
started to develop a java application (not applet) as a means of
modifying the database, but I have seem to run into a problem where my
host does not allow external DB connections. I would like your ideas
on an alternative solution to modifying a database given this
limitation. Thanks.

ssh tunnelling if that's possible. Otherwise, write a web app to do the
job from localhost instead.
