Jeff,

The difficulty, as with so many of these things, is legacy. As you start to apply 'real' security to the system, so existing applications that have - let's say adapted to take advantage of the open security - will fail. It is the same problem that prevents the majority of applications from adding transaction management with well defined boundaries to their code.

Having said that, an SQL table for example is unlikely to form part of a legacy application (or the legacy part of an application anyway) so these should be fully secured. It really should not be possible to write "sdfdsfs" into an integer column using the editor, as you can with UniVerse today.
