Hi David:

If anyone gets access to your server room and the tapes stored there; there
is nothing they can not take. That is why Server rooms are usually securely
locked.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer]SQL2000 Security - Preventing access


We are in the process of completing a new installation.  We have created a
runtime WXP ADP with a SQL2000 BE.  We have set security so that users that
log onto the program can only access the parts that are relevant to
them.  Fine so far.

What I haven't worked out yet is - What happens if someone gets hold
of  the SQL database file (say for example from a backup tape), takes it
home and attaches it to their own copy of SQL.  Is there any way to prevent
them from being able to access the data or objects?
