to avoid like the pest?Firebird keeps track of activity in terms of connections and transactions, which are created dynamically andare unique to a connection or transaction. User login information is used only for granting (or denying) accessfor security purposes. What this means is that you're not going to corrupt the database or interfere with otherconnections' work if everybody uses the same login criteria. The problem comes when you actually want togrant (or deny) access to some people and not to others. In that case, you should have different user namesfor different users, or create classes of user with a single user name and s single set of privileges.Good luck,Ann
