Running Queries with Always Encrypted

Matthew McGiffen retrieves some data:

In this post we’ll look at how you interact with data that is encrypted using Always Encrypted. The examples here will show how you run queries from SSMS, in later posts we’ll look at stored procedures and application code – as well as what happens in the background when you execute a query.

For these examples we’re going to be using the database we created in the last post.

Always Encrypted definitely changes the way you work with those encrypted columns, and you might run into some frustrating errors along the way, as things you could get away with before are no longer possible.
