Hi,
How do you handle encrypting sprocs when in development mode? Is there any quick and easy way to encrypt all sprocs whening pushing out a production build w/o manually adding the necessary script?

If you develop from scripts held in sourcesafe (as you should) then you can encrypt them during development too.
Otherwise you can write something t ogo through all the sp scripts to add a "with encryption" before the "as".


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

We put

/* WITH ENCRYPTION */

in our SProcs, and then just globally change them to remove the comment when we install them on production systems.

Mind you, the SQL2K encryption is pathetic and a child of 4 could decrypt them in the blink of an eye ...

If anyone has a comment-remover, and/or obfuscation, tool I woul dbe interested to hear of it

hmm, that's not good news.

But I guess 90% of people aren't even going to go to the efforts to do that (but maybe they are not the ones your hiding the sql from hehe)
