What is the best way to securely delete a database in MS SQL Server 2012?
When deleting an entire SQL database, what is the recommended/best practice for making sure that the data contained in that database is deleted securely? I need to be able to delete a database from a system that I run and verify to a client that their data has been deleted securely and cannot be recovered (at least, it's not practically feasible to do so).
Thanks,
