It's called don't give out the user information that allows the person with the proper permissions to delete the database or do dumb things like that *cough*JimMorrison*cough*.

Or do something like give (In linux lingo) rwx permissions to the uninstall scripts and programs to a person like Octopor (it classifies him as other).

Or if this was installed by an SQL script, then remove all the code that re-creates the tables and run the program. If its a proper install script, there should be DELETE * FROM xxxxx lines on the start of the script.

Hell, once Eric gave me access to the database for this site and I wasn't even admin back then. He was lucky I didn't do something stupid back then.

You seem to know a lot about this "internets" business. perhaps you could share more i'm still confused how a WRX plays into all this

Linux permissions. Means Read Write Execute.
