Well if you've got any evidence as to why it's a bad idea I'd appreciate it - it may help us to see the pitfalls coming even if we can't avoid them! thanks -----Original Message----- From: Charlotte Foust [mailto:cfoust at infostatsystems.com] Sent: 10 May 2005 16:14 To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [dba-SQLServer] Security & encryption (cross posted to accessd &dba-sql) It doesn't really make sense to build a database that the dba is locked out of. I've seen discussions of this HR wish before, but I've never seen a good answer for it.

We have been asked by our HR department whether it's possible for us to build a storage facility for confidential data (such as salary information), that is encrypted and that neither we nor the network administrators could get into once it's gone live. Ideally it would be integrated with their current application which is Access 2002 FE / SQL Server 7.0 BE. How do I build an encrypted database that I can then lock myself out of completely?! Without locking everyone else out too (that I've done before). Management are willing to spend some money if necessary.
