[Gambas-user] A dude about Gambas

[Jose Daniel Santos Delgado]

At the moment I've thought in two possible solutions:

- Hard code the user and passwd information.
- Use a public file with the user and password, but the application
add a prefix to each of them to build the real user and the real
password.

I'm planing to build a gambas-based Library Control Application for
the school I work at. The alumns could view the database and the
teachers coud edit it.

I don't want that and advance boy (orgirl) guess the user and password
of the mysql database and make a 'delete from books' :) and I had
thought that there might be other ways of accessing the database.

Thanks.
