Please have a look on below statements
1. encryption is useful to protect against the THEFT of data
2. encryption is not what you use to prevent ACCESS to data.

I think if unauthorized access happens of encrypted data then ultimately it is THEFT. Now my question is how encryption is useful to protect against the THEFT of data?

No!
But if i create new table for the encrypted columns from another table then data won't be in encrypted format in new table. So encryption doesn't prevent from THEFT of data. That is what I was trying to mention here.

How encryption is lost in the new table simply by copying the encrypted data ?
