The short answer is no. You must have a server side agent to access a database on a web 
server. A Servlet or JSP page is the best option, but your ISP needs to support them. A last 
resort would be a cgi-script that invokes a Java command. Your ISP still needs to support a 
Java VM and configure it for you. In any case you need to write the code for the server 
agent, a substantial task.

It is not designed to connect to the server. The JDBCAppl example connects to a database on 
the client machine, or a networked filesystem attached to the client. It assumes that the VM 
running the applet will run the database connection, and has all the classes (including the 
driver) in its classpath.
