Hello, Firstly, apologises if this is the wrong place to ask this question - please feel free to move or remove this post if it is. I have been using HelioNet to host a remote database and would like to use a java (or a python or similar script) to access it. In would like to develop this applet on my home PC before uploading to a web site, could anyone please advise me on what I need to add to my script to access the database and any changes I need to make to the server settings in order to query the database. Thanks Richard
