From Clarion NG
You cannot have 100% protection but you can make it difficult by using the
external name attributes of tables & columns. In other words, the Column
labels
defined in the Clarion Dictionary and used in the Clarion program can be
meaningfull labels whereas the external names could be cryptic ones like
T001,
T002, etc for tables and C001, C002, etc for Columns. It would take somebody
a
bit of time to unravel the database. This has a down side to it as it will
make
it difficult for you when querying the database using Query tools or SQL
utilities as the names on the SQL backend would be cryptic (unless you can
memorize all the backend names of columns & tables). You would just have
build
in all the functionality you need into your programs.
