Is there a possibility to be hacked

We have connection with sql server 2000 with front end visual foxpro 9 in
which we gave rights to user and install front end exe in client computer is
there any possibility that outsider can hack our server. how it possiblity
pls tellTHere is *ALWAYS* a possibilitiy that you can be hacked.
with vfp - you should do some encrypting/branding of your code; a guy named
Leonid has made a pretty good tool that he has indicated might be freeware w
hen
he releases.
Anyway -- the code can be dcompiled & someone can see your connection string
.
someone can packet sniff & watch teh data going back & forth.
There are exploits for sql2000 to gain access
If your firewall is up to date, and by "outsider" you mean not on your local
network; the chances are probably fairly low.

Is there a free ms sql host?

I am looking for a free ms sql database for my programs, but i don't want to host it on my computer, because my web host does not allow servers to be run and people connecting to thme.

SQL Express is free to download and use...but you would have to find your own host for it...

Is SQL Server Service Manager still existing on SQL Express Edition?

Hi there. I am new to the SQL Express. I just finished installing the SQL Express 2005 with Advanced Services on a Windows XP SP2 computer. The first thing I noticed was the service manager (used to be on the taskbar) was being removed on the Express Edition. How do I get this feature back if it's even possible? I know you can find out the server status from the Configuration Manager but it's handy if the status is showned on the taskbar after logging in.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

KC

There is no Service Manager in any SKU of SQL Server 2005. There are some folks out there that have written their own however.

Is osql standalone?

Hello all,
I want to know if I can start the osql utility from a computer without SQL
Server, MSDE, etc. Is this file standalone?
Thanks,
SorinYou must have installed sql connectivity, and Osql, but the server stuff is
not required.
