SQL server doesn't have the function, maybe look for thirdparty's.

Thank you all for the reply.
Actually I am looking into SQL Server's feature(if any) of encrypting the SQL Server 7.0 database schema. Currently I am working for a software house. We are developing a product for a client that will be delivered soon. SQL Server 7.0 is our back-end database. We want to deliver the product encrypted in terms of the database schema. I mean the user can open the SQL Server 7.0 database but an encrypted one. We don't want our client to look into the database schema; tables, references, primary keys, foreign keys, indexes, constraints.

Looking forward to a reply
Obaid

Do you have to deliver the data in SQL Server7 ? If not then you should
Export the data to some other format using DTS.
