Then, this is solution should be described in the context of how the embedded engine will support encryption. This thread was about SS/other engines. Are you saying that the only mode that database encryption will work, is the one which satisfies only 80% of the installs? What solution is proposed for the other 20%? How would ODBC/JDBC connections to an encrypted database using an embedded engine work in the proposed solution?
