If this is then obfuscated with one of the tools you mention, it would be very difficult to firstly figure out what's happening and secondly, successfully capture valid values for each variable and prepopulate in a route which replaces the db functionality. More effort, in fact, than it's likely to be worth! Mind you, setting this up in the first place is quite a task in its own right! Jamie.
