Hi guys,

thank you for your replies yesterday on this topic. I have one more question though:

Does someone have any ideas how I can hide data without the meta data noticing? To explain further, I would like to save some collection of data where the meta-data does not see it. I am trying to do some security through obscurity. It is for research purposes.

Maybe to save populate a table with 1000 rows, but the meta-data only knows of about 500 of them? Only on an export of a dump can you find the data again. 

Kind regards
Hector

Hi guys,

does ANYONE have any tips on hiding data on a database server? This means that data is stored in places that is not necessarily picked up in the schema of the database. I am doing some research on databases and need some direction.  

Any help or direction will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hector
