Hello masters,

I wants to know that :

1. Virus Attack is possible on Server which is allowing
access from client machine only through SQL-Server instance service ?

2. If virus attacked on Server, is Data-files will be safe ?


Thanks

1. Yes. The very minute the connection is made a potential virus could make use of that connection.
2. No. Even if files are locked by SQL process noone knows how the virus is written.
