Re: Secure data in SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition



I didn't test it with different schemas. The hit on the device was between 8-10% for most operations. On the desktop it was barely measurable.

Thanks for your reply.

Not exactly that I wanted a more complicated encryption, but i was worried
about the performance hit for encrypting the whole database.

Can I ask what is the size of the database you tested with? Also, would the
performance hit be affected by the database schema?

Encryption in SQL Mobile is at the database level only. In my testing the
performance hit for using encryption is quite low, and using an encrypted
database is as easy as providing a password in the connection string, so I'm
not sure why you'd want something more complicated than that.
