- support for automatically pulling database DSN information from a
~/.dbi (or similar) file. This is constantly re-invented poorly.
Let's just do a connect by logical application name and let the
SysAdmins sort out which DB that connects to, in a standard way.
This reminds me one one thing I hate about DB access, and that is having
the DB password
stored in plain text.
Of course there are ways to provide some concealment, but nothing
particularly good or
integrated into the access.
If the "connecting by logical application name" could also include some
level of security
access, that would be a big improvement.
