Sorry another question!

Do you allow more than one database user, with each being set different permissions?

For example, a user with just "select" permissions, another with "update" another with "delete" etc...

I couldnt see how to create database users in the control panel demo...

I have just searched and found an older thread that says only 1mysql user per site!

Has this changed? If not then it seems a very bad idea. It means that for even the most trivial queries the user has permissions like DROP and DELETE! This vastly increases the havoc a hacker could cause using sql injection or the like...

UH-Matt

Only one MySQL user is allowed per site.

This is actually part of our security policy. As long as YOU keep your scripts and user details secure then you will not be hacked, by only allowing one MySQL user per site its far easier for us to administer, track and log MySQL activity and prevent hacking and/or brute force attempts on accessing your data.
