Hello,

A new question has been asked in "Getting Started" by TommiG:
--------------------------------
Dear colleagues,
is there a way to have user restrictions embedded into the database?
I learned user accounts and passwords are stored as part of the DBMS, but not 
as part of the DB. Therefore someone could copy the physical DB-files to an 
memorystick, move it to another machine and with a fresh installation of 
MariaDB he can read and modify all data. 

We create a desktop application and would like to distribute a database with 
private information to the end users. Is there a way we can hide this 
information and restrict its access only by using our client application but 
not by any other client?

Sure we could encrypt our secret data, but than the DBMS could not create 
inizes, constrains, etc.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

Env: WinXP, Win7, Win8
