RE: MS SQL Inter-database query question

hi michael,
the data between two databases can be sniffed if these servers are on the
same network segment.
but usually all databases including Mysql supports SSL.
It would encrypt any communication to and fro from the server(s).

Subject: MS SQL Inter-database query question


Hello ...

  Just a quick question:

  When a query is performed from one database to another
  database on the same server, does the information pass
  over a socket ? or some other system ?

  If it is a socket, is it sent such that sniffing of the
  information is possible (i.e. sniffer on a computer in
  the same network can view data transfer) ?

  Thanks ...

-- Michael
