DBISAM vs ElevateDB |

"Robert" | Going thru the feature comparison list, I see this
(10) The table encryption in DBISAM is performed using a developer-defined password for each table, while ElevateDB uses one engine-level password for all tables what does it mean? Thanks. Robert |

"Adam H." | Hi Robert,
I believe it means that tables in DBISam are individually encrypted. (ie, if you want all the tables to be encrypted you have to encrypt each one, one by one), as opposed to EDB which allows you to encrypt an entire database without having to individually encrypt each table. .... or so that's how I understand it. Cheers Adam. |

<< (10) The table encryption in DBISAM is performed using a developer-defined password for each table, while ElevateDB uses one engine-level password for all tables what does it mean? >> As you know, DBISAM used a (possibly) different password for each table that was encrypted. With ElevateDB, you set the password at the engine level in code, and simply designate which tables you want encrypted. All of the encrypted tables are encrypted using the same password, and the whole AddPassword, RemovePassword, etc. functionality is no longer required. The user security functionality was effectively separated from the disk encryption functionality. IOW, in ElevateDB if you want to restrict access to a particular table, then you should use users/roles and database/table privileges to do so, not encryption. If you want data to be secure on disk, then you would encrypt the tables and/or database catalog (the configuration file is always encrypted in ElevateDB because it stores the user security information). -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
