Hi Bob- thanks for the great info. I will try to word this part more carefully. I am not worried about the information in my DB being secured or i would just use mysql. Sometimes a webhost wont use software like some tcl extension or other for various reasons including but not limited to security on their servers. I am just trying to see how a webhost might look at the possibility of sqlite on their system. I'm guessing because php5 is new that because most webhosts are still running php4 on shared hosts that it may be a reason why sqlite is not listed on many hosts feature list yet. Or maybe they just assume and it goes without saying that it would be easy to add sqlite to someones account.
Most stuff i would do is used with minimum security because i am not an expert enough to warrant that someones information is secure (because my understanding of security is rather limited). I might want to secure access to the page where i enter the data though. I wouldnt want anyone to be able to insert data into the database. Just read only. i will be making some inquiries to 1stchoiceweb and olm.net about sqlite. thanks very much, jim > > SQLite is not secure, but you can contact Dr. Hipp > to discuss solutions > to this that you can license. > __________________________________ Yahoo!
