Hide databases from users?

Hello!
One can restrict access to DATA in databases and tables by setting
permissions, but is there a way to prevent a user from seeing table
definitions, users, groups etc. when using ODBC-connection or pgAdmin?

Allowing access to a database for a user in pg_hba.conf still reveals
all database names, users and groups.

Regards, Matti

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

If i create a new SQL login and give that login db ownership for a test db. When that user adds my SQL Server through his own SQL EM, why does he/she also see all other objects (databases, sql security logins, DTS, ...)? Is there a way for the user to open SQL EM but only see his/her db and nothing more? Thank you

I've just spent some time looking through FAQ sites and searching the google archives of this newsgroup, but I still haven't been able to find a clear explanation of an issue with multi-user databases. Essentially I have two questions; 1) Does the system.mdw file have any significance to multi-user sharing of an Access 97 database other than security? 2) Can any number of users open an Access 97 database using the same

Someone posted this official proposal to create comp.databases.postgresql.general again. He wrote his own charter. As far as I know, he did not consult any of the postgresql groups first. There may be an upcoming vote on this, so please stay informed and read news.newgroups.announce for updates. Also see message <2uu44nF2eodc0U1@uni-berlin.de> for an example of the proponent's temperament.

I need to design a system which represents multiple "projects" in SQL Server. Each project has the same data model, but is independent of all others. My inclination is to use one database to store all projects. Looking at the numbers involved, however, I wonder if I would get better performance by storing each project in its own database. Suppose I have 50 projects, each with two users and 10,000 rows; it seems to me I'd rather have 50 x...

I would like to know if it's possible to embed a SQL Server 2000/2005 DB within a desktop application so that the end users cannot view the DB. Also, this will prevent them from copying the database on to their other SQL Servers. Also, what are the options to load SQL Server 2005 on Win 98 *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
