Database error?

[Ralph DiMola]

The MySQL DB option in revOpenDatabase supports SSL encryption. This will
work if:

1) SSL is enabled on the MySQL server.
2) The servers firewall opens the appropriate ports.
3) SSL certificate is installed on the server.
4) revOpenDatabase SSL parameter is "true".
5) Encryption externals are checked in the standalone settings.

All this talk got me curious. I have an app that connects to a database. 
It currently has a strong password and an obscure login that isn't anyone's
name or email. It has zero sensitive data; think of something like your
personal jogging times, or a holiday calendar. Totally innocuous. You'd be
comfortable posting it at a bus stop.

What kind of risk would there be if someone were able to figure out the
strong credentials it uses? We don't care if anyone sees the data itself,
but if access were obtained would there be anything else the intruder could
do?
