Spent some time today looking over the test questions on the test I need to submit by Sunday night. There's one (number 7) that gives two possible answers (IMNSHO). The question involves giving a user select permission on a database - select only - and is either a "typical" web user or a "read-only" db user.
If all the user can do is select, then the permission set is read-only by definition...I'll have to see if the grant of permissions requires a login, which shouldn't be required for typical web users. Anonymous searching is more typical on websites (I think). Of course, if you want to DO anything with the data, registration is often required. I'll have to read that question again - even though I do think I should go with my instincts and not over-think the question.
I'm glad the test is this weekend. Although I'll be spending the lion's share of my time creating a "haunted hallway" leading to our front door (which will be replaced by a large black lacquer coffin) for Halloween, and setting up tombstones and scattering skeleton bones, it won't be as busy as the actual day, when I also have to think about cooking for guests and getting the house ready. Luckily, my husband is the host of a large haunted house in Kirkland tomorrow night, so I'll have time to work on PHP/MySQL and get some reading and experimenting done. Maybe I'll even start moving things around on the website (putting the header/footer/navbar in the /include/ folder, etc.) like I've been wanting to do.
