I am trying to setup a domain that has a vpn server to allow remote
access to 5-10 users. I have noticed that most database software
doesn't really sit well when being accessed over a vpn or other
remote utilities.
Is there any way to setup a database that would allow remote login and
use? Please any responses would be helpful.

If you are just trying to access a database remotely across the
Internet, all you need is a server (a machine that is visible on the
Internet). You can then install any half-decent database server on it (
lets say postgreSQL for arguments sake), and bob's your uncle.

If you are worried about security, then look at using SSL or SSH.
