You need an application server like Apache or Oracle application server.
But I don't see the relation between VB and Internet.

I don't understand what you mean by "connect my vb application through internet".
You connect through Internet via a browser not via a VB application.
Can you explain in details your architecture and what you exactly want.

Hello Michel,

sorry for poor explanation.

I'm working in a student management system project application using VB with oracle 10G.At present we are using our application within the school[intranet]. this year our school open new branch so our application also use in both main and branch school.[main and branch school is in different location]

I want to connect our student management system application from branch school? I think we can use connection string vb[oracle] to connect. but basically we have to do some settings in main server to connect.
ie. I want to access my remote DB using VB.

I hope explain clearly.

Thanks again,
thenndral.

For Oracle, there is no difference to remotely connect from inside your network or outside it.
The first problem resides to be able to reach the database server from outside your server.
This is more a question of network connectivity, firewall, level of security you want...

What is your current connection string from VB to the database?

Michel

So in your remote client, create the same data source, possibly using the IP address instead of the server name (assuming you have neither firewall nor proxy between your private network and the internet).
If you have some firewall to protect you the must use something like Oracle Connection Manager on the firewall to bounce from outside to inside.
