LOL

This has certainly strayed off of my original question which has 
nothing do do with Stored procedures or Fusebox. I'll re-post the 
question, which is concerning client database access:

Does anyone see a problem with restricting
SQL operations to Stored Procedures (which obviously there aren't
any) or INSERT to stop people from querying a client storage
database? I've always tried to avoid writing things like cfset
client.user = "me" and cfset client.password = "mypassword" on the
remote chance that if someone knows the datasource name and does a
SELECT * FROM CDATA, that they could look for things like user and
password combinations and guess from the app name (which I often name
with the domain name to avoid duplicate app names) what site it is.

Don't know why, but I always just sort of figured that restricting
SQL operations would restrict them for CF also. Funny how it takes 3
years for the light to go on sometimes. :)
