If you are just going to be hosting the database and not administering it,
they can keep you out of the database by not giving you an account. If you
have to have access, then you could create an account with a limited set of
privileges but does not have any access to their data tables.
But...if you have to have an account with DBA-level privileges, there's not
much you can do (that I know of) to keep their data secure. A DBA
privileged account basically has the run of the database and therefore could
access any data it wanted.
There may be a 3rd party tool that could provide such a scheme, but
unfortunately, I'm not aware of it.
