Greetings,
        Does anybody know how to handle viruses in a database system?
In a database environment there would certainly be a lot of updates and
I was wondering how could one limit the infection of viruses into data
items. In other words, how do we guarantee that untrusted users or
processes won't infect our database with viruses?

P.S. I am talking at the system level here.

Thanks is advance
