I don't understand whether you are talking about web server or your own server.
If the server is the one you have created then go for socket programming from the applet.
If the server is the web server then go for Servlets programming.
Don't ever use applet to database connection. This may cause security problems and more..
The databse should be at the system from where the server is running.

If you are not clear, feel free to contact me at keelypavan@hotmail.com
