Disclamer: Yup, the other responders are right. You don't want to
make a mistake with security.
Rather than put your database on the net you'd be much better served
by using a VPN. IPSEC and OpenVPN come to mind. At the
very least use a ssh tunnel.
You want security, use a tool designed to give you security.
