    Hi,

    lately i've been faced with a dilemma of whether i should choose to have one
    database user to access the database from my app and have inbuilt user
    management in the app itself or if i should choose to make a database user
    for every user of the application, implementing minimal user management on
    the app.

    Which is best to choose? what is the best practice?

    reagrds,
