Copying encrypted stored procedures.

I have several stored procedures, created in a development environment,
that I need to move to a 'QA' environment, and then in turn, to various
production environments.
When I move these stored procedures, I would like to encrypt them,
using the 'WITH ENCRYPTION' clause.

My question is, how do I copy these stored procedures from development
to their target SQL server environment in an encrypted state?

Up until now, we have been moving them by generating an SQL script and
then executing that script on the target server. I have tried this
using a script with 'WITH ENCRYPTION' specified within it, but it
doesn't appear to work when I try and execute that script on the target
server.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nick.

The answer is that you don't. I think SQL 7 had a function for this, but
it was discontinued with SQL 2000.

What "doesn't appear to work" mean?

You would have to write a tool that reads the script and shifts in
WITH ENCRYPTION before AS. (Assuming that the number of procedures are
too many to make manual editing an option.)

I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 stored procedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have different syntax? The concept should be the same that the stored procedures execute in the database server with better performance? Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also. thanks!!

Hi, Just wondering what sort of problems and advantages people have found using stored procedures. I have an app developed in VB6 & VB.NET and our developers are starting to re-write some of the code in stored procedures (im advocating encryption of them).

If I do that, hacker could use key to break encryption. How do I...

Is it possible? Bestcrypt can supposedly be set up on linux, but it seems to need changes to the kernel before it can be installed, and I have no intention of going through whatever hell that would cause. If I could create a large file that could be encrypted, and maybe add files to it by appending them and putting in some kind of delimiter between files, maybe a homemade version of truecrypt could be constructed. Any idea what it...

I am trying to get a SQL stored procedure to use user maintained MQT implicitly which raises questions on when they are used or not used. In theory you would expect the stored procedure to pick up the MQT at the time it is bound on the creation of the static SQL. This raises the question on how you stop it or start it using a MQT as there is no option on the bind. What happens when it is rebound? What happens if the plan is made invalid...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
