title: Whats better: direct connection or through php for mysql database
body: <p>I want to connect to MySql database through windows forms application. I will be inserting bulk data into my MySql database once in a day and thereafter will be inserting only what the user selects. </p>
  
  <p>What is better:</p>
  
  <p>1) direct connection to MySql database through c#</p>
  
  <p>2) php files which takes json data and inserts the data</p>
  
  <p>What now follows is only my strong love for a better approach. The geeks out there I want answer for this:</p>
  
  <p>Which is a better practice, considering
  a) Security reasons
  b) Maintenance reasons
  c) Architecture reasons</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance!!
  Cheers!!!</p>
