Hi guys,
My small office (11 employees) has a small 30 MB MySQL database. We need quick and regular access to it, so ideally we'd like to keep it on our LAN server. However, an application on our website hosted outside of the office needs access to it too, but does not require speed or regularity of access.
I realize hosting a full HTTP web server requires a ton of maintenance and security. Does hosting just an SQL database require the same amount?
So, I guess my question is: Is it difficult to secure an SQL server and keep it secure?
Thanks for any advice!!!
