[GNC] Using a mysql database?

[Joseph Vernice]

There are no logon credentials for an XML database, making it easy for 
someone to access your data.  I use a mysql database that requires 
credentials to log on.  Also, I change the port from the default 3306 to 
something else.  The port is blocked by my firewall.  I can do this only 
because the DB server is on my LAN.
