    Ah! Read the options in a hurry and ended up selecting the incorrect answer.

    Next time I will will count to 10 slowly before answering.

    Nice question.

    Nice clear question.

    The proportion of wrong anwers suggests that security still isn't an important part of the job for most DBAs, which is a pity.

    Good question, thanks Steve

    Found myself looking for a catch, but went with my knowledge anyway.

    Yea, I spent a bit of time trying to figure out the catch as well. I don't use encryption much, so I was sure I was missing something.

    Glad to see my limited understanding of database encryption seems to be correct.

    Nice clear question.

    The proportion of wrong anwers suggests that security still isn't an important part of the job for most DBAs, which is a pity.

    Until it's required by law or upper management, adding another layer of security is usually viewed as a waste of resources. I think with the rash of data breaches in the news recently, you will see more of a focus on this subject. I know my company is about force us to de-identify all data not in production...which is going to make my job of analyzing production issues a nightmare.

    I thought this was a good question and like Tom pointed out, not a lot of people are familiar with them. It does come with some overhead, but it's a pretty powerful approach for column encryption. I usually enjoy questions about encryption, so thanks for it.
