• It is as useful as putting a fence around your house.

    Anyone wanting to walk on your territory will have to do a bit more effort to get there.

    So, maybe they'll think twice before walking on your grass. 😉

    I have implemented some encrypted sprocs because in these procs I use stuff I wouldn't want a developer to use (e.g. sp_OA** stuff to send smtp mail on sql2k ). Just to avoid copy/paste usage without any consideration. Off course these sprocs are documented.

    They may come up using sp_OA themselves, but then it will be rejected and they will have to program another workaround.

    Our dev teams are not allowed to use "with encryption".
