Databases

Hey all,

I've been given the task of evaluating various database servers with
regards to security, and would like to solicit opinions. The databases I
am interested in are:

PostgressSQL 7.3
MS SQL Server 2K
Interbase 6 & 7
Sybase 12.5
Access 2K

If anybody has any information, whitepapers, anecdotes etc on securing
these databases, I would be grateful.

PS I know that MS Access and security do not belong in the same
sentence. The order came from on high to include this "as a comparison".

Thanks all,

Benjamin Meade
