All,I want to create a product which will include a data base and possibly other services using Sql Server 05. Though I am very familiar with licensing technology to protect window applications from end users, what are some approaches to protecting database technologies? For example, if I ship a schema, how do I protect that schema from reverse engineering? Or the Stored procs? Some stored procs may contain enough information to understand some key application objects and possibly logic. One though was to use components within the CLR and obfuscate those components, but then I don't get the full use of all the features of Sql Server 05. If anyone knows of or has experience with protecting the intellectual property you would ship in a database produce, I would be mucho appreciative.Thanks |

| It's not easy since you can't stop dba basically. You can encrypt sps, but there are free tools to decrypt them. |
