Subject:	Protecting my design
Body:	[quote]Posted By n/a on 01/01/2001 12:00 AM I would forget about trying to hide your design. If the code is running on their servers then they can reverse engineer anything you put on it - even your compiled VB code. The tools already exist to do this. I would concentrate on making sure you get good lawyers and make sure your code contains the necessary disclaimers. You could stop some casual theft by encrypting your stored procedures (using the WITH ENCRYPTION option) but your tables will always be visible to the sysadmin role or the 'sa' account. The customer will need this level of privilege to maintain/backup/optimize/repair the SQL Server - it is THEIR server after all isn't it? Chip [/quote]
