Is there a way to protect the database from being
deleted?

Those who need permissions to use the file will have enough
permissions to destroy it, too.

This is simply not true. You can set permissions on the folder to be
MODIFY but not DELETE, and it will still work.

If you think accidental deletion is a distinct
possibility, then hiding it from easy access should be considered.


That's not a very dependable method.

If you don't like running the risk of a corrupted LDB file, you can
set permissions on the file you're trying to protect, but keep in
mind that you have to reset permissions after a compact.
