Question : MS SQL 2005 - Security

Hi Guys,

I have an application that uses MS-SQL as database and back-end.
I am quite new to SQL;

I want to start using this application over the internet from remote locations and not sure what the implications will be with respect to security, record accessing speeds, etc.

Should I only open the ports required for accessing the database over TCP/IP, will this suffice for some level of security, or is a firewall recommended?

Talking 250,000 records up.

no, you dont have to replaced them. These values are estimated automatically:

conf t
ip ddns update method METHOD
 HTTP
  add https://your_username:yourpass@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
 interval maximum 5 0 0 0
 interval minimum 0 0 15 0
!
int dial 1
 ip ddns update hostname your_hostname
 ip ddns update METHOD host your_hostname


If you copy paste the above commands , cisco CLI can get special characters (for example "?")
Try to upload the config using tftp.
