Connection policy

Post by teunis » Fri 10 Aug 2007 00:43

A program of mine has one MyConnection
In the prpperties UserName and Password are specified for the database.
In the daytime about 25-30 of this program are running on different places
updating and fetching data from ONE MySQL database
Is it better to give each program a different username-password then to use the same for all the programs.?
(tracing is not the point that is done in a different way)
I know this is not specific for MyDAC but thanks for any reply

Do you need to keep your data safety? If absolutely no need, then you can still use this. In other cases we recommend to use different usernames. And maybe try to look at SSH-tunneling etc.
