Hi, we plan to make available our database from the internet (direct tcp/ip based connections). We want to make it as secure as possible. There are a few users who could access the database, but we want to block any other users to access.
Disclamer: Yup, the other responders are right. You don't want to make a mistake with security. Rather than put your database on the net you'd be much better served by using a VPN. IPSEC and OpenVPN come to mind. At the very least use a ssh tunnel. You want security, use a tool designed to give you security.
