Can you remotely connected to a database with an android application?
I am seeing tutorials for created the database directly on the device, which is not what I'm looking for. I need to know if it's possible to connect remotely to a database (say MySQL) and preform operations such as insert, update, selected, and things of that sort. The only thing that has came to my mind would be the JDBC but I'm doing some research and no real positive feedback has been found. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Android should never directly connect to a database remotely. It should either use it's local database or connect to a database using the RESTful interface.
REST can be done in many languages. Rest is making an Http/s call and getting results in (normally) XML (or JSON). In Java, you can run Tomcat. You'll need to write a servlet that connects to the database, runs the SQL, and writes out the results in XML. The android application can read the xml and do what it needs to do with it.
You could also use Grails to make RESTful applications and they can be done pretty quickly.
The database doesn't really matter in Java so using MySQL, Oracle XE, or Postgres can be done for free.
