password protecting data

Hi,

I need to provide a facility to do routine database administration
(backups, etc.) without allowing the logged in user to modify the
data in any of the SQL server tables. Is there any way to accomplish
this (such as maybe password protecting the tables or otherwise)? I am
fairly new to SQL server - so would appreciate any pointers to this.

Thanks a ton!

Regards,
Radha

Sounds like you want to use ROLES and use db_backupoperat or. Thanks a ton!

Hello, My VB 6.0 application read and writes data from and to a MS Excel workbook, using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider.

Is there another way to use a password protected Excel workbook in my

hi..I'm working on a project that requires files to be password protected on a UNIX based site. The people that own the web site want to be able to change the password every so often.

The people I'm contracted...

Hi! I have a passwordprotected backend. I just realised that you can download a cracking application that can crack a password with up to 18 signs. I have tryed it and it works. My question is: is there any other software capable to crack password with more than 18 signs, and how long can a password be in Access. Sigurd

Hi all. I have an app that needs to create a folder off the installation folder, this is not a problem. But, I need to password protect this folder so only the application can get access to the data stored there. Of course a user can add a password to a foler, but how can I do this from within my code, then how would I open a file within this password protected folder?

Why Password protect an MDB when someone can google and get a hack? Wondering if anyone else has thought of this and just said "oh well"... I plan to password protect an MDB where I have some system/program variables and data. But looking in google, there are plenty of programs a user can download to hack and crack that password.

I wrote a simple VB.NET application that imports and edits CSV files. Now I’d like to “lock” the raw (pre-import) CSV files so these cannot be opened separately. It is not high-sensitive data, I just don’t want folks to peek in the files. So time-consuming encryption is not necessary, just a simple password-to-open that I can program in my application so it internally opens the imported CSV file would be perfect, but I can’t...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
