Stored Procedure Encryption

Saturday, November 19, 2005 @ 4:01 AM by Abdul Aleem

SQL Server stored procedures can be encrypted when they are shipped as part of a product. To Encrypt the SQL Server Stored Procedures so they cannot be read by anyone/client/developer/dbo, use the WITH ENCRYPTION with the procedure definition. Consider for example

CREATE PROCEDURE CustomerSample WITH ENCRYPTION

PRINT ‘This is an Encrypted Procedure’

I am looking forward to writing and Debugging Stored Procedures using the Visual Studio 2005.

The With Encryption is worthless. There are many applications that have the ability to decrypt objects. If you know of some other method, please let me know.
