How to restrict un -authorised persons from using database files

hello,

I am using MS SQL db for my web application . I wanna know if there is any way to protect /secure database files from copied or used by any un authorised person.

Right now any one can copy the data base files(.data and .log) files from MS SQL's data folder, and can use it any where without any problem. But i would like to restrict any un authorised person to use it. Please let me if there is any way to avoide this.

Please help me in this problem

All suggesstions are welcome.

thank you.

Hi,

you will have to povide additional folder security on your system, or encrypt the data in every column. There is no other way to do this.

Hi there,
My sqlserver 2000 was down(means failed to reload ) I just copied all the mdb files and log files from that server. now i wants to reload my databases from the mdb files. is it possible?. If so pls inform me how to do that.
Its very urgent. Pls help me:
confused:If you have all of the MDF and LDF files look into using SP_ATTACH_DB. After that you'll need to recreate the logins in MASTER from those in your databases.
