Hi
Well if you are using PHP, what we do is have one user e.g. 'PHPLOGON' that
conects to the DB.
Then when the user logis on thay enter a user name and password, php looks
this up in a table on MySQL (useing user PHPLOGON) and looks in table
faculty (username,password).....
This way users do not have direct acsess to the DB!

Is it better to let mysql handle logins or to create a table with this
info?
I'm setting up a db that has faculty and students. Currently, all access
to the db is through user root. I read the General Security issues and
this seems to be a problem.
The db will be accessable on the web, but I only want users in a certain
IP address to be able to get it.
Is there a way to relate the user table built-in to MySql with a created
table? eg. faculty
