    A Conversation About '2 Factor Authentication'

It was deleted, because the discussion was tied to a video that, as was det

    Hacking Your Own FileMaker Platform Solutions

    By Steven H. Blackwell

    Hacking Your Own FileMaker Platform Solutions Should FileMaker Platform developers mount hacking attacks on their own solutions? At first glance, this may seem an odd question. But I believe that the answer is “Yes, we should.” Consider this. As developers we see our solutions from a totally different perspective than Threat Agents see them. Without practicing our own hacking skills, we can become blind to the vulnerabilities a Threat Agent can exploit to compromise the Confidentiality

SQL Love

Just got this from John Weinshel and had to share… “I love SQL, love that it’s as old as relational databases, sort of Codd’s afterthought. It’s like Freud, after describing his entirely new model of the universe, added a coda, psychoanalysis, for putting it to use. Except SQL is free and it works.” Priceless. Source

This is a quick follow-up to part 1, with a couple more observations about dynamic parameters. a) I can’t believe I forgot to mention this the other day:  A major ExecuteSQL headache that dynamic parameters can alleviate is the dreaded “embedded apostrophe” problem.
