MaxDB 7.5 - Some more questions

Hi all,

first of all, thanks for the very useful answers in my previous thread. 
I do have some more questions though.


- Ease of Administration

Is there a general rule that says MaxDB is easy to administrate or MaxDB 
needs an full-time DBA employee?

How easy it is to administrate MaxDB in an Enterprise environment, e.g. 
by supporting SNMP, ...


- Profiling

I've read in the Online documentation that MaxDB comes with a set of 
profiling tools. What tools are the most valueable ones regarding what's 
going on in a MaxDB database.


- Security/Authentication

What type of authentication does MaxDB support? Is this something 
proprietary or is there support for Kerberos, ...?

Is there some kind of data encryption available, to protect sensible 
data that goes over the wire?

For a remote connection. Is the user/client password transmitted to the 
server in a human-readable way?


Thanks again, for any help one can give.


Best Regards,
Thomas
