Details
[edit]The SQL user used for read-only queries in the (no longer existing) Special:Asksql.
 Warning: | THIS IS VERY INSECURE. If you want to allow semipublic read-only SQL access for your sysops, you should define a MySQL user with limited privileges. Review the MySQL documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html on how permissions can be granted in the database subsystem. |
The MySQL user shouldn't have too many rights over the database, restrict it to SELECT only on "cur" table for example.
