Chapter 40
Security and data handling
A consolidated summary of the guarantees stated elsewhere in this guide.
| Area | Guarantee |
|---|---|
| Database credentials at rest | The password reaches disk only if you tick Remember password, and only as ciphertext from the Windows credential vault. There is no plaintext fallback: if the vault is unavailable, the password simply is not saved. |
| Credential erasure | Clear saved credentials and Sign out perform a deep erase that rewrites the underlying storage, so no remnant of a previously saved password survives. Settings and theme are preserved. |
| Credentials in logs | Scrubbed from every record before it is written. Request bodies are never logged. |
| Credentials in bug reports | Never included. |
| Network | All database traffic is between your machine and your database server. The only outbound call the product makes is the one-off licence activation. |
| AI | Off until you configure it. Your key is stored locally and sent only to the Base URL you entered. Your prompt and the SQL in context go to that endpoint — nowhere else, and secrets found in the SQL are redacted first. The assistant is text-only: it cannot execute SQL, reach your database, commit or roll back, or change any setting (§34.3). |
| Destructive actions | Killing a session, closing a PDB, dropping an object, restoring a version, deleting a suite/report/workflow/test, and truncate/replace imports all require explicit confirmation. |
| Generated scripts | Schema sync scripts, grid update scripts and ER-model DDL are generated, never executed. You review and run them yourself. |
