Also, there is copious information available on encrypted file system or EFS - you're running on Windows, so you're probably lucky in that you can use FS encryption that comes out-of-the-box.

Also, passwords are not stored in the DBMS. No idea where you have this information from.. Password hashes are stored, yes, but you (or anyone else) will have hard times retrieving clear password from hash.

-) sure, hashes, yes... Sorry, I would describe only the users point of view, not technical internals.

Thank you for your help. I see, there is no easy answer for this and I have to use additional (OS-specific) solutions.

I was unsure whether there is a feature like MS-SQL TDE (transparent data encryption) and only I missed it. Therefore my question.

Thank you for your fast response. This forum and your work is of precious help.

Best regards, Thomas
