Thread Limited visibility of tables and fields in ODBC
Sun, Feb 10 2008 4:18 PMPermanent Link

Hi there,

I'm considering purchasing the ODBC driver for DBISAM.
I was just wondering about whether it's possible to limit the visiblity of certain tables
and fields that users can access via the driver?

Specifically, there are a couple of tables and some fields in other tables (such as
passwords) that I would prefer users not be able to read into something like Excel.
Is there a way of controlling what is accessible via the driver?

Thanks!

Warm regards,
Mike.

You can, but it would involve purchasing and modifying the ODBC source code
(requires a Delphi 5 or higher IDE/compiler).  Of course, if you need help
with that, I can certainly provide any assistance that is needed.  It's a
rather simple fix to isolate and exclude certain fields in certain tables.
