Accessing SQL database in iOS app

Question

I have an SQL database stored in my server, and I want my iOS app to access it. It contains passwords and such, and I need the app to be able to download the contents. What is the best way of doing this? Thanks

Basically you have two options.

Firstly you can directly access your DB via HTTP requests and get the data that you want. (Not the suggested way.)
Or you can create a Web service which communicates with your DB and acts as a layer between your app and db.You can either get the all data or the ones you want from DB depending on your Web service.
