Isn't it a bit cheeky having a question where the answer was in one of your previous articles? 😛

Good question.

Thanks Steve.

Really good question. Since it's only 2016 and we won't use SQL 2016 at work for several years, I get to learn until then. 😉

Thanks Steve, it is striking that a high number of incorrect answers . Exactly the same question there was already March 21, 2016 and an article of the Stairway Series: Stairway to Dynamic Data Masking - Level 1: The Basics of Masking Data in SQL Server 2016 is available at SSC.com from March 15, 2016.

Not sure. Many people don't read all the articles, or even most of them.

Same here. I am not sure of the point of this kind of indiscriminate masking to '.com'. Seems like a recipe for disaster.

But thanks for the question, Steve! Taught me something I didn't know.

Thank you for the question.

I agree that the constant prefix .com is strange, but if that is documented as it is maybe in a later version it will be different.

I am not sure if there is possible any sort of attack or vulnerability if the real.

Hmmm, guess I don't remember that one. I need to pay better attention.

Thanks for the reminder Steve. It is indeed nice to see that Microsoft went the extra two steps to ensure anonymity to those who are not entitled to the appropriate keys but choose to snoop anyway.
