Query remote SQLite DB for Ionic

Working on an app for the android market and I have decided to use a DB instead of the json files, since one of the json files is 151,069 kb. I have created a sqlite db on my server that takes the json and inputs the data. I now want my app to be able to open the DB on the server, or copy it down once every 24 hours.

With the smaller json files I was able to create a local db in the app and query it just fine, but for some reason, I cannot query the remote db.

I followed this guide for SQLite: http://ift.tt/1zsfJve
