SQL & PL/SQL

Hi all.

To my schock and horror i 've found the PL/SQL is not completely secure with wrap utility ....! This is a real knock out for those of us who thought we could protect our intellectual property through this encrypt / obfuscation or whatever you wanna a call it technique.


To make it even worse, there appear to be some party software out there with which you can unwrap any pl/sql code. As good as it may seems, this on the wrong hands can cause a lot of damage ....

So my post here is to hear from the community some ideas on how to protect such a valuable assets: our PL/SQL code ...

I've always been in favor of storing PL/SQL on the Database. There are some many reason for doing that, and so much has been written about it, i won't rationalize it, but now one question raises:

- Is PL/SQL distributed a plx libraries secure or can this as well be "unwrap" ...?

- How can one really protect you code ...?

Best regards, Luis ...!
