As I remember correctly, InterBase does - there must by special user SYSDSO, who creates System Encryption Password and then keys to encrypt database or columns - while DB is on the same computer, where SEP was generated, nobody needs to specify it to connect to encrypted database. - when DB is moved to another computer SEP is not "default" anymore and connection need to specify it explicitly, in addition to username/password. -- Sincerely, Dmitry Kuzmenko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
