What are the different ways to have communication between an iOS app and a database server?

I just starting to play around with iOS and web services. I'm writing a test app (My Books Collection) where a user should be able to register, login and then add books (Name, Author, Price, Edition, etc) and all the data should be stored in a database server. What options do I have to achieve this functionality?

I have programming experience but I'm very new to iOS and web services. Thank you!

Best practice is to have a web application mediator. We use php to handle queries from ios app and manages db. We use a light weight xml for ios - php communication and also add encryption sometimes. You can also add data compression to keep data usage low.
