For starters, I'd recommend always using SSH (whether VPNing or not) to encrypt the pipe (puTTY.exe is a great, free Windows-based terminal emulator for that, or Cygwin). It also depends on how your users are connecting (VPNers and other) and are you planning on using ODBC? If so, check out the net on redirecting ODBC requests through SSH. That way the pipe is encrypted, so whether the data is or not is less (but still) important. The config is something like this: ssh -L 80:192.168.0.254:80 -l root -T 192.168.0.254 (You'll need the root password to the DB machine in this case) Check out: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-odbc/2001-09/msg00040.php for more info. How will you be maintaining the DB? Through scripts? If so, SSH and ban Telnet. If you plan to use a GUI, you might check out www.ems-hitech.com/mymanager which provides a method for using SSL (its about $135.00 US).

Re: a few questions regarding MySQL rights
As far as I know, MySQL Access Privilege system does not allow you to create groups of users. You can have only users. Communication between MySQL Server and MySQL client is, normally, NOT encrypted. You can do that using SSL connections to your server (Mysql4 feature).

a few questions regarding MySQL rights
Our programmer is designing a large scale database and I have some questions. 1) can I create groups, add users and assign privileges to the group? 2) since this system is going over a VPN the data should be encrypt using 3DES. If a authorized user needs access to the data who is not in the VPN this information would be traveling in a clear text format (please correct meif I'm wrong) but is there a way to encrypt the data?
