SQL Question

I have a question about connecting to an SQL database through a Java applet...

I dont have the java.sql.* packages installed on my PC that I write my code, but it is installed on the webserver that I use - is there any way I can upload a .java file to the server and compile it to a .class remotely, without SSH or Telnet?

Is there some sort of server-side PHP or Perl program that would compile a .java file into its bytecode? I'm new to Java, and I dont exactly know the routine for installing packages on my computer, so I thought that compiling it remotely would work, but would it just be easier to download the JDBC files to work locally?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, but can't you just install J2SDK on your pc? It's really easy!
Then you can work with tools like Netbeans and Tomcat.
You can find excellent tutorials here!
