Afternoon,

>> yes but on another server the SYSDBA have access to my db
>> and i don't want that.

You cannot, at present, prevent the SYSDBA user getting access to
everything in any database on that server.

This means that if you have two servers and a database on server_a is
copied to server_b, then anyone with SYSDBA rights can look at all the
data and code inside the database. Unlike Oracle, the SYSDBA password is
set for the entire server, not for each individual database on that
server.

So, to prevent people seeing your data (on server_b when the database is
copied from server_a) you must prevent people copying the database to
server_b.

There are details in the "gbak" manual on preventing this sort of "data
theft" - http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/gbak-security.html.

What is even worse is the fact that if I get hold of a copy (or a
backup) of your database, I can put it on my server and read all your
data simply by logging in as SYSDBA with *my* sysdba password.

:-(


Cheers,
Norman.
