Android with SQL Server 2008

Question

Does Android supports SQL Servers? If so how to connect to SQL 2008 in my Android Application?

Answer 1

You can not connect directly, you need a web service to do the job.

http.client can help you with the communication with the web service

Answer 2

You could use the jtds driver (version 1.25) to connect to an external sql server - it works!

Answer 3

I think i can help you. I have developed a connection from android to Microsoft SQL Server. I've used: web service with Linux Ubuntu, Apache as web server, PHP and FreeTDS to connect Microsoft SQL server, and it works.

I hope it would help you.
