what kind of security do I have when use
REALSQLdatabase?

If there's such thing, how do I use it?

Thanks

None. Really !

Anyone that gets a hold of a database from your app can get anything out of it. This is true if it's REAL SQL Server or REAL SQL database since they are based on the same engine.

You could encrypt the values IN the database, but that kind of ruins the SQL searching.

It's why I have requested that REAL implement the encryption available from Dr. Hipp

At least this way you could still query and have an encrypted database
