Symmetric Key Experiment
At our last user group meeting, we mixed up the agenda a bit and did something that really
got the membership involved. We had them be the speakers. Our leaders invited the members (who were present and we had about 25 of them!) to throw out any topics about
SQL Server that suited their fancy!
One of the topics that caught my interested, was a question revolving around encryption. The conversation that ensued went down the path about if it’s possible to create a view to display a decrypted value of an encrypted column. Now that’s an interesting notion. The group consensus was that it was not possible. I thought, what a perfect blog post topic and be able to do a little experiment!
