IMHO, the conceptually correct way to do this is with a ContentProvider, which exposes a database-like interface and can behind the scenes access any datasource you wish (yes, it can go across the net). 'Just' marshal your requests into a web request and parse the response into something like a MatrixCursor that you return (for queries). (I am for my own stuff are accessing a REST interface to a MySQL DB, which gives me an XML file back, which I parse with SAX and fill into a MatrixCursor. Works fine - as long as the server is reasonably responsive and the result sets are not too large).
I would think that this is also a future-proof way of doing it as companies such as Oracle or Sun (MySQL) will almost certainly provide ContentProviders that can be configured to access their DBs sometime in the future.
