Subject Application users and FireBird users
Author venussoftop
Hi all

Presently I do not create users in FireBird and rely on the sysdba login to auto update data structures and user data-entry from the application. I know this is not good but had to get things forward.

I need a couple of types of users in FireBird. One, are the data-entry users. They should be able to add, edit, delete and query records via the application. What kind of a FireBird user is this? They need to get access to all the tables and fields automatically as and when created/updated for data purposes.

Another, is the sysdba. This user is required when the app is updated and the DML are executed via the utility to update structures. Also required for connecting to the database for updating the Remote Views to work on the data in FireBird in the application. Password to this sysdba is a concern too, I am fine to just change it and not create a full admin on the production database but am open to suggestions but am looking towards a lot of automation using DML via a utility just for this purpose.

Ideas and advise please.

Thanks and regards
