  Hi

  I have a login table with following fields and data

  Login

  LoginID varchar(8)

  Password varchar (8)

  The Data is table is

  Loginid Password

  Bill Gates

  Tick Tick123

  Now if I am running the query :

  select * from login where loginid='Bill' and Password=ENCRYPT('GATES'), the query works.

  It should not work as the data in password field is not encrypted and both should not match.

  Can anybody will provide the answer?

  Thanks

  I ran this:

  create table Logins

  (

  LoginID varchar(8),

  [Password] varchar (8)

  )

  go

  insert logins select 'Bill', 'Gates'

  insert logins select 'Tick', 'Tick123'

  go

  select * from logins

  go

  select * from logins where loginid='Bill' and [Password]=ENCRYPT('GATES')

  go

  drop table Logins

  No rows returned for the second query.
