Now, I would like to have a form to fill the name of a new person and its address from the same place.

Hi. If i had a RoR application dealing with very reserved personal informations about my customers, if my hosting provider would like to, i guess it would be easy for him to steal the data by simply peeking the username and password inside the database.yml file.
