If you are using Access, you are aready as secure as you can get I would
think. For better security you would need to move to Oracle or SQL - or any
other RDBMS with a security shell.

Subject: database security


Hi

I'm working with a database programmer (in access) who is paranoid about
his databases.

He is very worried about the security of his database.

Currently I store the database in a non-web-accessible directory on a
shared server, but that's it.

Is there anything else I can reasonably do? (the website is being done
quite cheaply)

I have read some articles on security but they all seem to focus on
encrypting a string rather than actually protecting the database as such.

Any clues please??
