Security Considerations

• Never commit environment variables or credentials
• Use a database user with minimal required permissions
• Consider implementing query whitelisting for production use
• Monitor and log all database operations
• Create a dedicated MySQL user with minimal permissions
• Never use root credentials or administrative accounts
• Restrict database access to only necessary operations
• Enable logging for audit purposes
• Regular security reviews of database access

See the MySQL Security Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.
