I'd at least make a separate database for WWW access to keep clever people as far away from "live" data as possible. 3) Does anyone know if/how Informix's license agreement deals with this level of public access? Would the main httpd count as 1 user? Would each httpd (if there are multiple simultaneous accesses)?
