But that is the risk of running multiple databases and applications which use embedded engine on the same server. There are several ways to address that risk: 1 - don't do it, use separate machines 2 - use VMs to provide isolation 3 - use containers to provide isolation Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched! https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/304595813;131938128;j Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
