Using a site's DB(SQL) in an iOS app?

Question

SQL

Good afternoon. Very interested in the question of accessing (using) the site's database (SQL) using an iOS application written in Swift? Is it possible to write this?

Answer 1

I can't say exactly about iOS apps, but such things are never done by direct requests. On the site side, a REST API is simply made, and the application, accordingly, communicates with the site through this API.
