How do I secure a database ie*.gdb file?
Once the *.gdb file in question has been copied, anybody with a SYSDBA
password on another Interbase server, can have insite into the data, and
database structure.
This would appear a serious threat to ones data, especially if it is
sensitive eg: Medical, Banking data.
Access to the data on a single server is controlled by isc4.gdb, so on the
server it is safe, but once a person has a copy of the *.gdb, he can open on
his own pc with his own isc4.gdb, and the *.gdb is no longer secure.
All answers will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
