texte = A brief note on using encryption functions with WebDNA and mySQL. It's not immediately obvious in the mySQL docs how to decrypt a column within the WebDNA setting. Or at least, it wasn't to me.;-) Here is a simple code example that brings back all of the columns for a table, including an AES encrypted column and actually works: [SQLExecute conn_ref=conn1&result_var=rs1] SELECT *,AES_DECRYPT({column_name},'{key}') AS {new_name} FROM {table_name} WHERE {column_name} = {value}; [/SQLExecute] Everything within '{}' must be replaced with the appropriate element. The key finding is that you need to bring back the data with a column name you assign with the 'AS' clause. Being relatively new to mySQL, I would certainly appreciate any tips or amendments to this code from those more experienced. Christian F.
