Yes. We can use a SQL login, but for our auditing purposes we want something 
that is automatic and assured that the username will be entered in by the 
system and not just our code. If we have to, we can use CGI.AUTH_USER and tack 
it onto each query into a separate column if it can't happen automatically, or 
some other kind of system that'll meet their requirements.

Right. Unfortunately, our domain is its own server that we're not going to have 
access to, so that option is closed to us. 

Thanks for your help!
