There are no logon credentials for an XML database, making it easy for someone to access your data.  I use a mysql database that requires credentials to log on.  Also, I change the port from the default 3306 to something else.  The port is blocked by my firewall.  I can do this only because the DB server is on my LAN.

Been using MySQL DB for gnu cash for many years, mainly because of
security. Never had a problem. Very reliable and fast on my lan server.
Not sure how fast over internet.

Hi. Can you explain a bit how the MySQL db is more secure than the standard xml, for example?
