I have presented on Making Developers lives easier with SQL Server 2016 multiple times over the last couple of months, and I must admit that even though the content is the same – every presentation is different depending upon the attendees and their expertise levels. During theGulf Coast Code Camp, MobileandDevSpace Conference, Huntsville – there were some interesting questions I was asked on Dynamic Data Masking during/after my presentation. I thought of writing a quick blog post to answer those questions.
