Hi,
in a recent post, Imagine Programming answered this to the question "Is it possible to create an online database?
":
... it is possible, granted it would probably not be secure.
Interaction with online data should happen through an API to which the user can authenticate,
I would not directly connect to any online database (except of course when that database supports per-user authentication).

I am currently using AMS to communicate with an online database: the application retrieves, inserts, updates and deletes information in MYSQL.
All operations are performed using plugin "MySQL", database is hosted in a VPS Server through a paid provider.
Everything works great, however as Imagine Programming mentioned, I believe the information in database is not secure.
This is the code for connection:
What else should I add to make the information in database more secure?
Thanks!

local MySQLConnection = MySQL.Connect("000.000.000.00", "DataBaseName", "Password", "TableName", "PortNumber");
if (MySQLConnection ~= 0) then
local error = Application.GetLastError();
Dialog.Message("Error",error.."\n\n Connection to database not found, application will close");
Application.Exit(0);
else
end
What else should I add to make the information in database more secure?
Thanks!
