Loging user to Client Server Windev

Hello All,

Question on how to make connection to the HFSQL Server.

When making the connection to the server do you use 1 account created in the server and then check to see if the user has access to the database through your own method or

Do you have every user of the database user name and password in the server and use their name and password to make connection then check to see if the are still active through your own method?

Thank you,

DW

Hi Dennis,

1 - just in case that HFSQL C/S is the only database system you're using, you CAN build your log-ins etc on the user-system of the database. I did it once and there had been quite a few obstacles. It's about 15 years ago and, maybe, things are very different today. However, if you do so, you will have to use HFSQL C/S with that program ONLY! No way out.

2 - If you want your program to be able to switch between several databases (like HFSQL Classic, MySQL, POSTGRESQL etc) then you should use a log-in-system that's fully independent of the HFSQL C/S user system. And yes, only a single user is necessary for access to the database.

Kind regards,
