Dear Experts.

I have a SQL Server 2000 on my production machine and contains 31 databases,
one of the database contain most critical information, now our organization
wants that database should be encrypted, just because of that I am going to
installed SQL Server 2005 side by side installation on the same box and
restore that database into SQL Server 2005 and implement the encryption, I
would appreciate if any one of your guide me the better approach or what
sort of information I have to be considered before installing and
implementing this.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Rogers,

Will you tell us what kind of an encryption did you use for your database?

That's also I want to ask from you guys like I have a Windows 2003 Server
Service Pack 2. Which Encryption would be best and more secure. I would
appreciate if you can send me any step by step Installation & Encryption
website.

Thanks

Well... It depends on your needs.

If you are looking for a tough encryption (this brings performance
degradation), then you could use Certificates \ Asymmetric Keys,

If you are looking for an encryption (which is not as powerful as the
previous ones) which does not affect performance as much as the others, then
you could Symmetric Keys.

It's your choice. But both of them asks for a sacrifice from your system.

Please read the following articles from BOL

I think I have to go to Symmetric Key becuase  I also want good performance,
Sql Server 2000 already installed into that Server and I am going to install
SQL Server 2005 as a Named Instace. Here is my server configuration, What is
your thought.

Windows Server 2003
Service Pack 2

Dell Server
2.99 GHz 2 GB of RAM

Thanks

Well, I do not know the possible workload on your server so I don't have any
clue about how it is going to work.

I suggest you to install R2 to your Windows Server 2003 if you have not.

Good luck!

R2 means Raid?
