I appreciate your reply.  We have plenty of new apps. in the works and a few "hot out of the oven" so you could be smelling a few different things. 

But for now I am interested in how the market is being served in the area of sql server encryption.  Password, database and data - but not necessarily in that order.

I'd also be curious to see if encryption improves in Yukon.  The market for Oracle encyrption seems a bit "thin" probably because they do it a bit better than MSFT thus limiting the market for 3rd party tools.

Speaking of this - didn't Lumigent have a Log Auditing tool for Oracle?  Now I don't see it anymore.  I *thought* that unlike SQL Server - Oracle allowed it's transaction logs to be read.  I would imagine paying thousands of dollars for a 3rd party tool to duplicate this feature would be a waste of money.  But this is another thread....
