No I don't mean encryption, I'm talking about having database credentials. For example, with MySQL you have database credentials and you can't access the database without providing the database username and password when you open the connection to the database. I'm aware MySQL is not an embedded database, but that was just an example. I was just wondering if couchbase lite had something like that, my app is a windows application (not Windows phone) . And if cblite doesn't support credentials, the only other way to protect the contents would be encrypting, like you said.
