How to protect SQL Server Express database from reverse engineerin

Hello,

We ship SQL Server Express with our application. I would like to prevent
anyone from reverse engineering our database. The names of the tables, names
of the columns, relationships, and data they contain represent a large part
of our intellictual property and there doesn't seem to be any way to protect
it. Is there any way to obfuscate this or lock the local system
administrator out of the database? We use a lot of stored procs so Compact
Edition is not an option.

Thanks for the help.
