Hello everybody.

In server version, when created database and added a role name 'SYSDBA' by other user, 'SYSDBA' can not never login this database.
This OK, very well.

But......

If i use Firebird Embed version, I can reading all data. In Embed version Like this:

I login to this database whoever a user, for example 'abc' and pass is null.
I can learning 'who is database owner?' like this

SELECT DISTINCT RDB$USER
FROM RDB$USER_PRIVILEGES
WHERE RDB$USER = RDB$GRANTOR

Then, I can reconnect to database with this database owner account... and all data on my screen.

I guess, this is security problem. What do you think?

I think that it's pointless to expect any security from the *embedded* and *open source* software, unless strong encryption is involved. And it's covered by other tickets in the tracker.
