how to encrypt data in table coloumns in sql7 or sql2000.so that only users having permissions can see(or discrypt )the data in the coloumn

the permission is given by depending on their name(let's suppose)on the same table in another coloumn.
here i dont want to encrypt all the coloumns in the table.
see this table

name password job
abi 2w3kjh engg
will uke68k doct
jim jkf98kj teacher

in this table i want to encrypt only the password coloumn .so that only junk character will come there.and this data can be seen to the responsible person (if he is checking table through enterprise manager) for eg.abci can see his password in enterprise manager but not others password..
is there any facility for that.

Short answer .. no.

Long answer, definitely not in Enterprise manager. But you could encrypt all your data and build an interface in VB or ASP that will decrypt relevant data.

But it will be slow, and basically more trouble than it is worth.

I think you should just put proper permissions on the tables so people can not see them in enterprise manager unless they are supposed to.
