So that one can read/write to a table lying
somwhere on http: world?

If so how? Is there stuff that can do this.

You can do this using the RealThinClient SDK: compile your own Web Server,
or create an ISAPI extension to run under any ISAPI-capable Web Server (MS
IIS, Apache, etc), then write a client using the same components to
communicate with your Server over HTTP, using RTC remote functions
(send/receive anything you like, even nested datasets, quite easily):

Btw ... RTC DB components are currently in beta testing (beta is free to all
licensed RTC SDK users), which will make it even easier to write clients,
servers and ISAPI extensions working with databases over the internet (using
the HTTP protocol for all communication).

Using RTC DB components, creating an ISAPI extension or a stand-alone Web
Server to serve your database over the Internet is as easy as placing a few
components on a form. Writing Clients to access your database is comparable
to writing desktop clients: drop a few components on a form, enter your SQL
statement and ... voila! You are accessing your Database over the Internet
(located on a Web Server).
