Hi all,

I am looking at the open source version of interbase for a stand-alone 
application.
I have some concerns about securing the data deployed on the client 
machine. I understood I can install IB and then change the SYSDBA 
password at least to have password protection. My question is: what if 
IB is already installed on the client machine and of course the SYSDBA 
pwd changed? I should not uninstall IB and install it again to be able 
to change the pwd and making someone else application not run anymore.
I cannot even enforce protection by using grant/revoke on the db since 
they have no effect on SYSDBA.
Am I missing something about how to deploy an application together with 
an IB database?

Any help is very appreciated.

thanks
Gianfranco
