[thelist] Who's more stupid?

[CDitty]

In Cold Fusion, you can encrypt, but cannot decrypt.  Keep a backup 
copy.   As for the database, I do not think there is anything you can 
do.  All he really has to do is turn on the logging features of the 
database and all your sql commands are saved to a log file.

Kinda sucks if you want to keep everything a secret.  Only thing I can 
suggest is to offer to lease it to them.  (If you want to go that route).

Good luck.
