Hi guys,
thank you for your replies yesterday on this topic. I have one more question
though:
Does someone have any ideas how I can hide data without the meta data
noticing? To explain further, I would like to save some collection of data
where the meta-data does not see it. I am trying to do

First hiding data is not a solution to secure or block access to
information. This only slows people down it does not stop them, never

Maybe to save populate a table with 1000 rows, but the meta-data only knows

Wow, this is really an idea I can work with.
I know this is getting really brainstorming, but do you think it is possible
to apply steganography (hiding data in pictures) tactics to the columns of a
database?

Dear Peter,
can you elaborate on what you mean by storing 'this' in the index. Are you
referring to the function that is applied over the data?
How would you be able to see the result with a dump?
Thanks, your ideas are really helping...

Acutally, that's probably the best way to this. The key to effective
steganography is having a large amount of data to store a small amount
of data. So, if you don't mind having a db that's 10 to 100 times
bigger than it has to be to store the original data it should work.
