Hi,

I wish to query a database to return boolean if it is encrypted or not. I don’t need to do anything with it… just want to return a value to indicate if it is encrypted or not.

Thanks

You cna;t query that directly, but…

  1. You can examine the biunary structure, there is an encrypt bit, I forget where it is but you can find it

  2. If you merely try to access the database, you will get an exception. You can examine the text of the exception error to figure it out. Isn’t obvious, because instead of mentioning encryption, the message looks like an ACL issue. Hoeverem, you may run into language version issues if you do it this way,

Thank you for your suggestions… how do you go about examining the binary structure?
