unfortuntaly not (AFAIK), even it that was possible, you would then have 
to hide the 'midgard classes, which hold the password', and since they 
are needed by the running program, its a bit difficult anyway...

as I say, the only way is to use some kind of socket connection to  a 
application server  running on the current machine : eg. srm - which 
does all this stuff...

in the bare bones scenario - it is assumed that you would probably want 
to use a standard midgard on a staging server (eg. at home or in the 
office on vmware or linux), then dump the database onto the live 
'midgard-lite' server - where the midgard lite one would probably have 
no write access to the database...
