I have a Crystal report that pulls information
from a SQL Database with an encrypted column holding sensitive data <null>
until you run the script.
The script looks something like :
SELECT CCDataKeyname FROM SystemInformation
GO
OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY
CCDataKey20110707030048
DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD =
'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
GO
select SerialNo from
ExtCardSystemMovements
After I do this I can use this field 'SerialNum'
in my Crystal report.
Is there a way in Crystal to get this command to
de-crypt this field before I run the actual command?
Select ccdatakeyname
from param

if you did it in a stored proc, you should be able to retrieve the data in clear text. I doubt that you can do it two stages from inside of CR (1 get the data, 2 decipher it) HTH
