We are creating and installing a custom application using an MDF file under SQL Server 2000. We create our own MSDE Instance to deploy our Aplication. We wish to protect both the data and the structure of this file from a Database Adminisatrator who has another SQL Server installation on the same machine. Is this possible and how do we go about it? Can we assign Password Protection at the overall MDF File level?
