how to access database without webservice?

Question

我正在开发iphone应用程序，需要访问服务器上安装的Oracle / SQL数据库，并且我不想开发用于读取/写入数据的Web服务，是否还有其他方法可以访问数据库？

Answer 1

Connecting to a remote DB directly from an iPhone/iPad App is a very bad idea. Imagine someone with a jailbroken iPhone and a simple packet sniffer.... It would be incredibly easy to compromise the security of your Database.

The best way to acomplish this is to wrap it in php via a web server on your remote Database server. You can then run a query on the DB with a simple http POST request and have the page return xml/json/whatever.

You could look through CocoaMySQL-src for some other ideas though. I think the project is dead/no longer active, but the code might still be useful.
