Sound like "bloat" ;-)
Nope :-) Depends on the kind of database and application e.g. like Orly pointed out: <snip> - transparent data encryption (data on disk, data acrossd the wire) - multi-factor authentication of users (e.g. by IP, by time, in addition to by user) - database realms (e.g. even the DBA cannot read the data belonging to HR and thus pull out the salary data) - the DBA should manage the dataBASE not the data </snip> If your company is running PCI compliant databases, then you must have the above features. thad -- sometimes truth is stranger than fiction -bad religion- http://www.bloglines.com/blog/mailist _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
