My name is Pete Finnigan and in the next few minutes I will show you how you can protect you PL/SQL investment from theft. We can:
- Stop people stealing your ideas
- Make sure you control your PL/SQL
- Secure your PL/SQL code
- Simple to use

Here is the Perfect Solution to Stop Theft of your PL/SQL
Did you know that if you do not protect your PL/SQL then anyone with access to the database where your code is deployed can steal it.
If you don't protect your PL/SQL before it is deployed then someone can read your code in clear text and understand it and rewrite it as their own. You think your application is fantastic and customers will buy it but if you don't protect it someone will take it for free and use it or access your source code and copy the ideas within it.
Which means that your code could be stolen and deployed to further databases and used without you receiving a penny in license fees that you should be due.
Luckily for you we have an easy to use solution that helps prevent anyone from learning how your PL/SQL application code works and understanding your ideas and prevents the theft of your code from a database where it is deployed. Our solution can also easily add protection to your application to prevent its use even if its copied to another database.
- Obfuscate and compact your PL/SQL code which means your customers cannot understand and steal your intellectual property
- Detailed configuration and customization which means that you can set up and re-use the same rules on a different project
- Control the obfuscation process which means you decide what is protected and what is not
- Add simple date and time based licensing which means you control when your application runs in the customers system
- Add run time controls automatically to your application which means you can activate and control which database it works in
- Command line operation which means you can integrate PFCLObfuscate into your existing build cycle
Using PFCLObfuscate to protect your PL/SQL code
Using PFCLObfuscate is easy. After installing the product you can see that the software is highly configurable at the product level and also down to the individual source code level and anywhere in between.
The above picture shows the main configuration settings for the tool. For each piece of PL/SQL at a schema level or even down to individual pieces of PL/SQL we can easily provide settings. All of the settings are stored at the schema level in files BUT we can also save the configuration per schema and open/close saves configs easily if we need separate settings at a file level or group of files within a schema. The image below shows some of the PFCLObfuscate settings that can be changed
Once we have all the settings configured as we need we can connect to a database and choose a schema to download PL/SQL source code from:
The next step is easy; simply click "refresh" from the file menu to get all the source code for the chosen schema. This is shown next:
When we have a list of PL/SQL packages, headers, procedures and functions then we can simply check the box next to each piece of PL/SQL that we want to obfuscate. This is shown next:
We can display the original clear text as well as the obfuscated text:
The product is much more though. We can easily inject code at any point we choose in the clear text PL/SQL. This means that it is easy to add license type protection to your PL/SQL. This means you can ship PL/SQL to customers for instance where it has a time limit - e.g. it works for 30 days and stops or we can inject locks into your PL/SQL so that you can for instance limit which database the protected code will work in. We can also use the same functionality to add better string obfuscation or indeed anything that you need. The main configuration screen is here:
As you can see we use Lua files to inject code into your PL/SQL. These scripts write PL/SQL that is then automatically added to the obfuscate stream and is obfuscated with the rest of your code.
Not everything in your PL/SQL can be obfuscated. Imagine that you have calls to a specific package procedure such as schema.package.procedure(a,b). If we obfuscate the call then it cannot find it as the original package is not obfuscated. We have two options here; we can either omit this call from the obfuscation by adding it to the omit files OR we can also obfuscate everything else. We have some customers who also obfuscate all table definitions and triggers and more with PFCLObfuscate.
Don't forget we can also use the product completely from the command line and the whole process to protect all of your PL/SQL can be automated and be added into your build processes.
Detailed documentation is available and can be used as a reference when working with the product and we also have email based support where we will answer any questions.
