Re: SECURITY - NewEra/ODBC -Reply

>>> Billy [Wheeler <billy@west.co.za>] Said lots of good stuff snipped One final thought: OpenLink software ( http://www.openlinksw.com ) claim to have ODBC drivers that offer _some_ security enhancements. >>>>>>>>>>>> Openlink are not bad in this regard. The Server side ini file allows users and applications to be vetted against various criteria before it will allow them to connect. We have [sort-of] solved the End-user Computing ODBC access problem by allowing free connect to a separately configured read-only instance (views across to live), while letting certified applications and users connect read/write to live. It is another layer of management but not too onerous (in our circumstances anyway). rgds Peter Tashkoff <tashkop@zespri.co.nz> Zespri International Limited This posting may not be used by any party to vilify another.
