I´d like to encrypt or protect one sqlserver 2K data base.
The problem is that I have to install the database in a computer client but I´d like that he can´t change o see the structure of the data base, only use it.
give only select permission to user by the sql server enterprise manager.
go to database user, select user and right click, click permission and select
object and check the select.
Yes but the admin of the client machine can change these permissions to take total control on the database so he´ll be able to change whatever he wants
If you are trying to hide the table structure, you really can't. Now if you are trying to hide the views and stored procedures, you can encrypt them. Word of caution, do not forget the password for encryption.
encrypt / protect database
