i'm very sure you heard about either ASP, or ASP.NET, in this way you could use VB, and ASP, to connect to sql using objconn = whatever th directory, i will search for more detail and back to you.
There are almost TOO MANY answers to this. It depends A LOT on what you are going to do with the data. And it depends on what database you are using. And and and.
I am *guessing* that you meant "SQL Server" when you said just "SQL" (SQL is a language, not a database).
What are you using to write your code??? That is Visual Studio or DreamWeaver or what???
If your looking to connect to a MySQL database using vb2005, thats why i guess your posting in this forum, i would advise you look at this tutorial. http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/...ew-vb-net.html, it will give you an understanding on how to retrieve data from a MySQL database and insert it into a VB application.
Hope this works
