One of the main reasons I have for using individual user names is to be able to see who created/modified records. In an industrial system such as the one I built and support, knowing who does what is very important, especially if something gets entered wrong or changed inadvertently. Management likes to know who is doing their job efficiently and who isn't.

Subject: Re: [firebird-support] Users for application
You can still see which process is doing what using a single user, though, since the system tables provide you with process name (foo.exe) and ip address for each transaction.
I have the feeling that users are only worth the management cost if you're in a big corporation with a bunch of developers and lots of users connecting to the database. Then you would use roles and privileges appropriately (with a DBA taking care of this, not the developers). But that's just a feeling really, since I've never been in such a scenario.

This means that poking around in the database to see what's going on (performance, long-lived transactions, etc) is a bit easier - we can instantly see which process is doing what, as the users are named after the processes.
