"Is there a way to stored procedures encryption?"

Presuming you mean you want to protect the source code (not the data) then you can do:

CREATE PROCEDURE ...
...
WITH ENCRYPTION
AS
...

however the encryption was weak (up to SQL 2000, I think SQL 2005 is stronger, but I'm not certain)

"How to products my data structure"

Not really. You can name all the columns silly things, but that just prevents folk like yourself from using it! Legal agreements are the only way. I started off being totally anal about that, but I no longer care. Our application is very complicated, and I don't think the Data Structure would be much use to competitors - well, they it might give them a good laugh I suppose!
