John, The web script does not allow for open queries, it takes in the users username, password, and device id, and authenticates them with the server, before it then takes and executes a built in query on the script, using more POST data. If i store each persons information into different Tables, then the only thing that people can mess with is the information for which they have a password to modify. This is what i am currently using with PHP, and i see your point about embedding the SQL information in the app.
