Set single dbase password



Hello

If we wanted to secure a database simply to stop 3rd parties from accessing
the database, but we dont want to set up different users with different
permissions or restrictions etc, is there any disadvantages with simply
using the Set Database Password option rather than creating mdw and user
groups and users etc?

Is it any less (more) secure? What are the up and downsides from doing
this?

Thx
AC
