Hello!

I developed database driven VC++ application. I faced a problem, which is "how to protect my database against direct access". E.g. .when i copy data files from one server to another and then using to attach the database to the new server the data base files are openedwith out asking password .

I use MS SQL Server 2000 enterprise Edition as a DBMS and appropriate database.

I want to make possible to manipulate with data in my database only through my client application.

1. How do I define SA password and instance name in silent mode of MS SQL 2000 EE installation with Mixed type of Authentication?

2. If my database be attached to my new instance. Is it possible to copy my database, attach it to another instance and get a direct access to its objects?

|||Hi,

actually you can′t secure it. The magic word in this case is prevention. Secure the directory that noone can connect to the server directory except the SQL Server Service user and administrator.
