    SQL server access through VPN

    Hi,

    I want to write and use a VB program to access my SQL server through a VPN.

    1) is this possible?
    2) will it damage my SQL tables in any way?

    Thanks!!!

    Hi

    This should not be a problem, but to some extent it will depend on what the
    VPN is and what application(s) you are using.. With any remote network, you
    may have to deal with things taking longer a local network.

      Hi John,

      what would be a drawback of using a slow connection to input data into a
      table?

      Thanks!!!

        Hi

        You may get timeout problems or have to increase timeout thresholds
        (application and hardware!). A slow connection can lead to user
        frustration and impatience, which may subsequently lead to data
        inconsistencies for example entering the data twice (or more) because
        they aren't sure they pressed commit!
        Then when a load of RI errors eventually appear they are left not
        knowing what has happend.
