if your developer not able to access your sql server from his machine then you need to take a full backup of your DB and send it to your developer using FTP/Email/mediafire/DVD etc.,

Solution 1

Web Service.
Create such service that can have access to your database.

Or rather, all the application would have the same Connection String, That's it :)

yes, you can create web service to access your database then your developer can consume that service.

You can share this physical file using DropBox, Skydrive, Google Drive etc.. Take a advantage of Cloud as well. ;)

Solution 2

Each application will have same connection string to connect to database. Done!

Update: The other developer should have access to database server you are using. If not, take a full backup of database and share it with others.
