Abstract
TransbaseCD RDBMS is SQL database management system supporting database distribution on read-only media such as DVDs.

Possible research questions:
* What is TransbaseCD RDBMS, what features it has and where it is/can be used.
* What method could be used to reset database administrator's password having the read-write access to the database files. Most likely this requires to reverse engineer the database user authentication data structure and successfully modify it.
* How is implemented the user authentication protocol between database process and client application. Transbase Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver is available which can be decompiled to support reverse engineering of the protocol.
