   Your points made sense, only that I was clarifying that the web service does indeed restrict what the client can/cannot do to the database i.e I'm considering having the clients just make calls to the web service which in turn does the SQL

   By design, the web service will limit what can be read from/written to the database instead of allowing the clients to run all sorts of database queries.

   Thanks for your input. I'm in favor of the web interface mainly because of this very reason. We're not at the point where this is needed but will soon.
