Microsoft SQL Server tweaks/security holes?

March 7th, 2007 Arun Manivannan No comments

This video just talks about another catastrophe that Microsoft has brought it.  These are  excerpts from a Microsoft TechEd training class on how to secure a Microsoft SQL server.  A lot of tweaks, what he calls, to help plug those security holes, breaks even the basic feature that we expect from the database. The first feature that breaks is replication. What are going to do with a broken database that cant be replicated too? Do we need to stop being afraid of the open security holes that we have in our application and start worrying about the database?

The guy coolly tells that “There is where most of the interesting ‘things’ happen”.  By ‘things’, he just means security holes.
