Not use exactly what you mean but I'll take a guess.
You make your db available (visible) to the internet by way of placing it on
a machine which is visible to the internet.
You deliver content of the db via a myriad of ways, ASP, PHP, XML,
webservices, and the list goes on.
None of these methods are obligatory.
