Dave --------------------------------------------------------------- Obscuring access to information is not a safe security policy, it just makes it harder to some, it doesn't make it foolproof against all. And, in the meantime, you are placing a toll on your resources and performance for no real gain. If you have lousy security, you can have it in MySql or in your directories.
