Thanks. We aren't likely to purchase an SSL certificate for data like 
this. I was just wondering what harm, if any, could be done if someone 
did manage to get in. If they want to munge up the data it wouldn't 
really be much more than annoying. I was more concerned about whether 
the server itself could be breached somehow.

We aren't using the account credetials, they're unique to the database, 
so that isn't a concern. I'm not quite sure what Pete meant by using the 
variable name option in the rev database functions though. (I am so not 
a database person.)
