Connecting to SQL Server Over the Internet
You can connect to Microsoft® SQL Server™ over the Internet using SQL
Server Query Analyzer or a client application based on ODBC or DB-Library.
By using the Internet, you can make data available to customers worldwide.www.tartoos.com
To share data over the Internet, the client and server must be connected
to the Internet. In addition, you must use the TCP/IP or Multiprotocol
Net-Libraries. If you use the Multiprotocol Net-Library, ensure that
TCP/IP support is enabled. If the server is registered with Domain Name
System (DNS), you can connect using its registered (friendly) name. www.tartoos.com
Though this connection is less secure than Microsoft Proxy Server, using a
firewall or an encrypted connection will help keep sensitive data secure.www.tartoos.com
Using a Firewall System with SQL Server
If you want Internet users to connect to SQL Server using TCP/IP and your
organization is using a firewall system to isolate the network containing
the SQL Server from the rest of the Internet, ensure that SQL Server uses
a specific port number for its incoming connections. The firewall system
then forwards connections from the port number to SQL Server. www.tartoos.com
Establishing an Encrypted Connection
If you want users to be able to establish an encrypted connection with SQL
Server, you can do so by enabling encryption for the Multiprotocol
Net-Library. www.tartoos.com
