Client never give production db with sensitive data to oursourced dev team. But outsourced testing team need a clone of production db for testing. For that client can give a copy of production db with masked sensitive data. That's why data masking tool required.

I'm starting to think that a concept has been made that includes a database with the original data, a copy with the "masked" data and then there just needs to be a tool that copies the data and modifies ("masks") some fields. Whatever solution we come up with (views, db copy with an update query that modifies the data, ...) it will not be accepted unless it fits the original concept. Most likely the client came up with the concept and then this outsourced development team doesn't dare to suggest that a different concept is probably a better way to reach the goal. But, I may be wrong here :-) -- Kind regards / met vriendelijke groet, Jigal van Hemert. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql ********************************************************************************************************************** <img src='http://jktech.com//cms/website_files/image001.jpg' /> <p> CONFIDENTIALITY.
