I freeze up with this stuff, just like I do with math. But...but...won't an intruder be likely to send their own queries, regardless of how the app is doing it? If they include raw values, the database will still respond, right? So why would it matter how the app is doing it? On 4/10/2015 8:36

I wasted an afternoon going crazy, so to spare anyone else the pain: If you do not include an (unspecified) number of icons when building an iOS app, the app will not install. If you try it with my AirLaunch utility via Dropbox, Dropbox will ask if you want to install, try to install, and then

I'm kinda curious about this too. I assume the major risk is being subject to SQL injection attacks but I'm under the impression that if you use the variable name option in the rev database functions instead of including data values in an SQL statement, you're protected against injection attacks.

You're welcome. Yeah, the docs don't make it very clear that once you create a database, you assign a user with a password to the database. This is what you use in the connection string, since A) that it's not a good idea to use your root password & B) use the same username and password on each
