Controls obfuscation of data in the database. Obfuscation is a form of simple encryption.
UltraLite employs different methods for setting this property:
| Context | Implemented by |
|---|---|
|
From the command line Use any utility that creates a database. |
Use the following property syntax: -o obfuscate=boolean |
|
From Sybase Central Use any wizard that creates a database. |
On the New Database Storage Settings page, choose to encrypt the database by selecting the Use Simple Encryption (Obfuscation) option. |
|
From a client application Use the create database method. |
Set this property as one of the creation parameters for an API's create database method on the database manager class. |
All boolean values are supported. For example, true/false, yes/no, 1/0, and so on.
0 (databases are not obfuscated)
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.
To render the database inaccessible without the correct encryption key requires that you set the database to strong encryption.
