EXPERT RESPONSE
I'm not a MS SQL expert, but for Oracle, I'd start
looking at the Oracle Documentation. You can access
all Oracle documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com.
You'll have to dig to get the information that you
seek. For Oracle, most network transmission uses
TCP/IP protocols. Since this in unsecure, Oracle will
let you use Kerberos and other encryption routines.
As for security in the database...Oracle has the
ability to encrypt data in the database. One can also
limit access to data using standard RDBMS security
tools as well as Fine Grained Access Control (FGAC),
sometimes called a Virtual Private Database (VPD).
And there is much, much more! You can get this
information from the documentation. It will take some
time and you will have to wade through a lot of stuff.
But you will eventually find what you are looking for.
You may wish to start with the Oracle 9i Security
Guide, found on the 'tahiti' URL given above.
