My *valuable* database is an open book if a user of mine (just because he is the pc owner and has admin rights) modifies the source code of the server. My ExtraLongAndDifficult password is useless.
Now we are getting to the heart of the matter: is it that you have valuable DATA you wish to protect, Vassilis? If this is the case, it's not the open- or closed-sourcedness of the database engine that's your problem. The issue is that you have a database running outside of your control. As an admin of anything installed on my machines, I can change the administrative passwords and read all data in a database. Unless the data itself is encrypted.
