Conect to database via webservices
Hello,
I have the following situation.
I have 1 application running on 2 computers.
The 2 applications need to get/put data to a central based database(mysql).
1 instance of the application is installed on my computer at home which doesn't give any problem.
The other instance is installed on my computer at work where there is a very strick firewall. Cause of the firewall restrictions i can only use http via port 80.
I setup a database server who's listening on port 80 on the internet. But cause a mysql-connection doesn't use the http-protocol it is blocked by the firewall.
Can someone think of a possible solution how i can write a workaround?
I was thinking about a webservice an let the application communicatie with the database via a webservice but since i don't have a enough knowledge about webservices i don't know if this is a solution for me.
any suggestions or solutions are welcome.
Thx,
