Multiple application data in a shared db server is no more exposed to cross-schema peeking than it is in a dedicated server.
Access to data in a dedicated server is controlled by a login and a

Access to data in a shared server is also (surprise surprise!) under
control of a login and a pwd.

Yep, almost as bad as poorly designed and implemented database engines, databases, networks, servers, operating systems, file systems, micro-kernels, etc, etc, etc and any other technological widget out there and as bad as those that attempt to manage them. Received on Mon Jan 09 2012 - 18:53:50 CST
