Is it a security risk to allow site owners to access their databases in a shared hosting arrangement by using Enterprise Manager? (Obviously I'm talking a windows box and MS Sqlserver2000+)
I would have thought it was no more of a risk than allowing users to access their databases with other tools, no?? I'm looking at a new hosting company and they're terrific in many respects, but they dont allow access to SQLServer databases except by the on line browser-based SQLManager and/or ColdFusion To that's going to mean writing export routines to export data to CSV files or something, ftp it to the site, then run an app on the site to import the data to the SQL that way. It's a pain because it's very convenient to use a DTS package to upload a whole bunch of data automatically I wouldnt be able to do this with this hosting company. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231416 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
