Re: How secure is the 2005 Management Studio?

It is a standard TCP packet with no encryption. If someone is monitoring
your network they can see the communication just like most other tools.

Let's say I'm just running a query or a report. The results are being
displayed on my desktop, so it seems that the information had to be
transmitted from the remote SQL server to my PC, right? If so, is that
data
transmitted in open text? Is it subject to hacking?

Do you mean run BACKUP\RESTORE commands? Or DTS?

When I am transferring data from my desktop to a remote SQL Server
instance
or vice versa, is the data encrypted? Is there any way someone could
get
the
data?

I'm new to SQL Server.
