crypted SP source in Firebird (2007-4-12)

currently the user of a Firebird database can: 1. keep the source code of stored procedures in readable form in RDB$[login to view URL]$PROCEDURE_SOURCE 2. delete the same source code, as with UPDATE RDB$PROCEDURES SET RDB$PROCEDURE_SOURCE = NULL WHERE RDB$SYSTEM_FLAG = 0 and RDB$PROCEDURE_NAME='NEWN_FAT' We would like a 3th solution: we would like to keep the source code in crypted form, probably in a table other than RDB$PROCEDURES. We would like to modify some sql client avaiable in source, like IB_SQL (part of IBObjects), so that when a password is given, the crypted source code becomes readable and editable. An altered procedure should be automatically crypted. (When the password is provided) metadata is printed in clear exactly it is now. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
