Hello,

I'm using the standalone (embedded) version of Firebird (in order to
make the installation and maintenance as simple as possible).

It seems that this version doesn't support password protection. This
is a major problem since all end users would be able to read and even
modify the content of the database. It would open the door to endless
support issues.

Can this embedded version be locked in any way so that only my code
could access the data ? I've been using Access which password
protects the local file but allows to provide the password from the
code accessing the DB. Is there the same feature in FB ?

Thanks
