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

You multiposted this. It's against Borland newsgroup rules - it also
means that people (who are trying to help) have to waste time
re-reading posts they've already read and answered.

Responses in interbase.general.

When asking database related questions, please give other posters 
some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!").
Thanks.
