The main problem there should be in the id numbers in most of the tables, but 
at least you know that it may be an issue.

I also have a hard time trusting mobile networks when I travel and want to 
access my financial data. So I connect over a VPN to my database. I find it 
useful for more than just financials (for instance I can NFS mount my shared 
files), and it was fairly easy to setup.

I am not opposed to implementing secure connections for those QSqlDriver types 
that support it. However, my current schedule implies that someone else would 
have to do the implementation.
