Is it possible to connect a desktop application in java to an online database?

Question

Java

The bottom line is simple, I have a desktop application that is connected to a local MySQL server, is it possible to connect this application to a remote server so that when this application is loaded, it connects to the Internet and unloads data from the local database?

Answer 1

Now ask yourself a couple of questions:
1) What does javafx have to do with it and how is it related to the essence of the issue?
2) You have a working application that works with the database. It is logical that the application is yours and you wrote it, therefore, somewhere in such an explicit place there is the most common database connection string in which "localhost" is written. So this does not hint at the place from which it was worth starting and trying to enter the link of the remote server here?
3) Have you even thought about the absurdity and stupidity of your question?
