masking a field in sql

  • For some time i have been trying to find a way to develop a procedure or append a sql query to our application code so that the password when stored in the database is masked. As of now i am not sure if this is easier to with the developement language or will it be easier to perform it in a sql with a procedure.

    please let me know if anyone has tried this before

  • either approach will work. I will see if i can dig up some articles if i have time

  • There is a free ebook here: http://qa.sqlservercentral.com/articles/books/68066/

    It covers more than just masking but it is a pretty good read.
