• Hi Steve!

    SQL Server include a number of encryption technologies, TDE, SSL and more. And unlike Oracle, which charges for encryption features, these are included in the price of SQL Server.

    Yes - but only if you buy Enterprise Edition.

    The price Oracle charges for its security pack is high (and the idea is ridiculous, at least to me) - but not quite as high as the price a SQL Server customer with a Standard Edition has to pay to gain access to TDE.
