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

  • Why not? Shouldn't android support normal libraries for connecting to sql directly over the network? It would be hard to use while moving with the device, but I would think it is possible... – Janusz Mar 04 '10 at 12:41
  • It is possible, but I am not aware of such libraries – Svetlozar Angelov Mar 04 '10 at 12:43

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.

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