I made a little application with a MySQL database.

I want to secure my database.I think user name and password is not enough to protect it. Because anyone can access the database by copying database files in C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\data & paste it in another another machine.

So my question is: How do I secure my database properly?

There is absolutely no way you can protect your database content if the user has physical access to the database server and files. – a_horse_with_no_name Jul 22 at 7:38
