Thanks for the explanation.

I want to make sure each user only see their own data.
So in the database, I have a procedure to set the context. By calling this
procedure, it records that this database session is for the particular
user, any subsequent queries is for the particular user.

If I use the same database connection for all of the queries, when a user
comes in and the database set context for the user, but at the same time
another user comes in,  then will the database think it is the previous
user, and return the data of the previous user to the new user?

If I don't use one database connection for each user, how can I make sure
the database handler know which user it is dealing with?

Many thanks,
Dan
