[dba-SQLServer] Preventing System Admins From Accessing Database

[David Emerson]

Hi Listers,

 

I have an SQL database which will be installed on a client's server.

 

Is there a simple way to prevent the client's server system administrators
from accessing the database (specifically changing security settings or
accessing the stored procedures and functions) but still allow me to have
full control over the database?

 

I am looking at pointers at this stage for me to investigate (eg if I
install a separate instance of SQL Server just for this application can I
have control over the security?)

 

Regards
