Simple encryption

Simple encryption is equivalent to obfuscation and makes it more difficult for someone using a disk utility to look at the file to decipher the data in your database. Simple encryption does not require a key to encrypt the database. Simple encryption technology is supported in previous versions of SQL Anywhere.

To use simple encryption

• Create a database using the dbinit -e option.

  The following example creates the database test.db using simple encryption:

  dbinit -e test.db
