Hi all
Please advise on the way a database can be protected.
I have seen the checkbox ‘save with password’ when saving a database form but I would like to apply security to the whole database however the checkbox does not appear.
Any help appreciated,
Mani
There is no such thing as a “Base database”. Base is not a database. It is a tool to work with databases.
Most likely you are working with an embedded HSQL database. The type of database is indicated in the status bar or the Base window.
A form is an ordinary Writer document with form controls, shown in “web layout” and opened read-only so you can edit only the database data in the form controls.
An embedded database is a quick solution to get a single-user desktop database. It does not offer any advanced features.such as users and groups.
Solution:
You may develop your database as an embedded one. And when it is ready to be used productively you may decide to convert the embedded database into a stand-alone one. A stand-alone database can have a password (the database itself, not the connected database document).
A stand-alone database can also be run in server mode for simultanious access of multiple users with diffrent priviledges.
