Yes it is possibe.You can communicate to databases through applet using Applet-Servlet Communications.What u need is to use URL class to send Query to servlet which interacts with the database and send the Query results back to the applet.

The difference between the applet and swing is as mentioned below:1. Applet belongs to java.awt package and swing belongs to javax.swing.* package.2. Applet is a heavy weight component but swing comes under light weight component's category.Yes, It is possible to connect to database directly through applets. Sometimes you are required to use the policytool to authenticate the applet otherwise in some cases applet can be directly connected to database without any authentication.
