Hi, just receive this project from prev. programmer.
Merant ODBC connect to Progress database without a USERNAME and PASSWORD. I've read some manual says that it's one of the possible implemetation in Progress (security not required), and on other document, it says that without USERNAME and PASSWORD (means no security required), you MIGHT not allowed to CREATE, MODIFY, INSERT or DELETE. but the word MIGHT is not available in programing dictionary (only 1 or 0, CAN or CANNOT ^_^).
so, how is this no security required setting is implemented. does this means with out any user name some one can write a program and use this ODBC to mess up the data in Progress (provided the Progress is set up to this 'no security required'?), what user account actually this setting will use to access Progress data ?. is this some kind of a lazy way to implement an ODBC connection (less work on giving password and username in the ODBC setting or program connection string) ?
sorry for asking to much if it is ^_^ ..
