Well to my knowledge there are only two types of encryption. 1. You can use the 'WITH ENCRYPTION" on the views. This does not effect the data returned. Only the access to the source code for the view is effected. 2. Have MS SQL use Kerberos. This will encrypt the data. See Linux Kerberos... I have never used Kerberos. Normally, this is setup in the protocols for MS SQL.
