In the recent debates about ODBC to Informix connectivity, I have not seen any discussion about security issues. Say for instance a user accesses a database table using a FourGen defined stored procedure that allows restricted operations. If the user were to leave that program and then acess the data via another session, they would have unlimited access via the ODBC application. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter?
