I thing RC4 is fine for most purposes. What would be nice would be the option to use a stronger (and maybe slower) encryption algorithm and perhaps a builtin function to allow encryption 'within' the database, i.e. encrypt only certain fields, records or tables. Tom Olaf,

Regarding RC4-encryption - yes, it is normally "good enough", much stronger than e.g. the DB-encryption for MS-Access-Databases, wich can be cracked in seconds using tools flying around in the internet. Tough I think about changing it to AES in the next version - will test and see how it performs, since RC4 is a really fast Stream-Cipher. Regards, Olaf Schmidt Hi Goban,
