Tim,

    I'll agree, as I remember it the C2 security spec was a farse compared to todays reality. OH, BTW, the first NSA approved database for Confidential and higher data was "Trusted Oracle7". All of the others were only certified for "For Official Use" and lower data. And back in 92 Sql*Server was only 'allowed' for non-mission data within the USAF. Long story, same ending. The only regret, it gives Larry Ellison more reason to keep the cost high.
