Hello Sue,
if you're distribution your fdb to the customer, there is no way to deny access for the SYSDBA. However, you can delete the source code from the SPs, Triggers etc., because only the compiled form is needed for execution. Anyway, you will make the job of the DBA harder, because he cannot lock into the source (maybe some day he needs to change something), and the compiled form isn't hard to reverse engineer, so this is no real protection for your code. I doubt there is any protection at all, except operating your own server and never let the customer get your fdb.
Regards, Alex
