• One of our developers decided to encrypt everything before deploying a release several years ago, and even put half the stuff in SourceSafe with 'With Encryption' not commented out. I could have cheerfully strangled him. It's been nothing but a huge bother ever since. As has already been pointed out, anyone savvy enough to want to play with stored procedures and the like can easily find a decryption tool. Meanwhile, we're still getting unwelcome surprises when we check items out that haven't been touched since that release because it's altogether too easy to forget to look and see if 'With Encryption' is there or not and, if present, if it's been commented out. For the life of me, I can't think of a single good reason to encrypt.
