Question on deploying .SQL files

Hi..

I would not like my customers to have access to any SQL code that is
being packaged with our product and hence would like to encrypt it in
some fashion. What's your recommendation on packaging/deploying .sql
files?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

First of all, keep in mind that while you can create a stored procedure
WITH ENCRYPTION, it is not real encryption, but merely obfustication.
Any users who is dead set will be able to recover the original code.
(Can easily be found on Google.) That is not to say that WITH ENCRYPTION
is useless. It does act like a sign saying "NO TRESPASSING" and will
keep honest people out. But you still need a license agreement.

As for the setup, you could ship the files in some obfusticated
fashion, and then have a program that knows how to "decrypt" the files
and then pass them to SQL Server unecrypted.

Question on cube processing and deployment

Hi, all experts here,

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

I encountered a very strange problem processing and deploying the cube to the analysis services server. The fact table where the measure group coming from only got several hundred rows, while at the same time I have other 6 dimensions with many attributes. My system drive currently still has nearly 1 GB space left, but when I deployed the cube, it took ages to run and ended up with process failure because of running out of space on my system drive.

This problem never happened before and it is really frustrated and I dont know what is going on.

Would please any experts here give me any advices. (I have tried ages, but still nothing really changes).

I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks a lot in advance.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,

Any expers know what is the cause of that problem?

Thanks.

With best regards,

Yours sincerely,
