multiple concurrent access to the database with the same use

Post by davidklonski »

Hello

is it possible to access a database with the same user account concurently from multiple sources?
Does MySQL enforce this?

If I create a single user account and give it a set of privileges, and I have multiple users surf to my web site, can they all share the same user account when accessing my database, or do I need to create a unique account for each user who access the database?

thanks

if they are accessing a php site you will be fine - just tell php what to log in with.
