Some people want to store login informations directly into db
instead of on server. Is such possibility still considered ?
If yes, both mehtods (on server/in db) would probably have to coexist.
In that case, *where* would new user be created using these sql commands ?

Again, is isc_db_handle handle of user database or security database ?
(I guess user db, since security db will probably be dropped in the future).
Will the concrete "users storage" be specified in apb ?
