Please helme 

As I can connect a blackberry to data base, with Http or sockets?

[tanzim]

How do you intentd to do so? And what's the purpose of it?

[Xandrex]

you need a database client to do that, like winsql or sqladvantage or phpmyadmin or SquirrelSQL... you guess where I'm heading. I am unaware of any client that you can install on your blackberry. Moreover, if you code one (for example), the port must be opened by your carrier (unless you do port forwarding through 80).

I think the easiest way is to connect to a web client, or do VNC or stuff alike. I've seen many free VNC clients for J2ME.

Yes.  Have you tried UltraLiteJ?  UltraLiteJ is a lightweight relational database and data synchronization client for BlackBerry smartphones and for J2SE.  Java™ developers can use UltraLiteJ to build robust mobile applications and extend enterprise data to mobile users.

UltraLiteJ is a client for SQL Anywhere MobiLink data synchronization.  It provides the ability to carry out change-based, two-way data synchronization on subsets of a database or on a complete database over either HTTP or HTTPS.  Each data upload to the server or download from the server is carried out as a single transaction.

UltraLiteJ also provides on-device change tracking and synchronization functions so that BlackBerry JDE developers can build data synchronization right into an application.  Together with MobiLink it lets you extend Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase ASE, and SQL Anywhere databases to mobile devices, and provides an interface for other enterprise systems and interfaces such as Enterprise Resource Planning applications and web services.
