on-rev remote database

[Len Morgan]

  Pierre,

It's only a security risk if I let the users WRITE to the database which 
I have no intention of doing.  The reason I'm trying to avoid and irev 
script in the middle is that I don't want to have to connect and 
disconnect every time a user asks for data.  If you have a sample irev 
script that would allow several hundred (I hope) users to read from this 
database, I'd love to see it.  Maybe it's not as bad (i.e., establishing 
a new connection to the database every time) as I'm thinking.

Thanks!

I do this all the time and it works perfect without any security lacks.
