Maximum Protection

This mode provides encryption and schema protection protection for the database.

Even a priviledged account (such as sa) will not be able to access the database. Here is a typical error message in SQL Management Studio when DbDefence denies access:

In this mode you need to choose a method to unlock access to the database.

• Allow SQL login to access the database.
• Allow selected applications to access the database.
• Programmatically add unlocking SQL statements to your application.

This mode is set by default.
