 * I have a company writing an iPhone application and they need access to our database.
   Can someone please tell me how to go about giving this company access to our 
   database without compromising any of our data. Perhaps read-only access.
 * I’m hosting on GoDaddy.
 * Thank you

 * You can create DB users that only have read privileges. This isn’t done on WP,
   but through your host.
