The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Detailed information on Security Setup

Asked by knel1234 in Sybase Database

Tags: Sybase, ASE, 12.5.3, Security - Encryption/Decryption

Hi,

I am trying to gather information for setting up security(aka Encryption/Decryption) of data for a database on a 12.5.3 ASE server.  I have been to Sybase's web site and I have seen several documents, but the ones that I have read are too vague or they always reference a similar (the same) example of encryption/decryption at the column level.  I am new to Sybase's encryption capabilites but not new to the concept.  I would like to get documents that are generic as well as specific.  I would appreciate any .doc, .txt, .pdf, or URLs of signigicance.  I have been to Sybase, sypron, etc.  Again, I see the column level encryption references.  Is that all there is?  Do I really need to go through all the database and all the tables and all the columns one by one.  Is there encryption at the database or ASE level?  While the column level approach looks nice, It will be very timing consuming and require a lot of little integration test setup to confirm that all columns have been configured properly.  This questions has the potential to get out of scope quickly.  If we see things going that way, I will get my thoughts together and open a new question(s) with a more narrow scope.  Again, I am looking to get a nudge (push I have 4 days including the weekend :(  to complete my research).

Thanks
