I think you will concede there is some distance between implementing security in the DBMS and encoding one's entire busness philosophy in it. ;-) The idea of a Database Manage System arose from the need to manage the database. One important aspect was to arbitrate changes to the data such that different applications would not update it in ways that were mutually inconsistent or logically inconsistent. It was never a philosophical question, but a practical matter of protecting the data. --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
