We are going to be using the Microfocus Database Connectors with Visual COBOL.  In our SQL data, we are looking to encrypt certain fields using the Transparent Data Encryption. 

My question is - Does the Database Connectors handle the encrypting/UN-encrypting part when sending the data to/from Visual COBOL program?

Why do you want to use a dabase connecor?

It's so easy to use SQL in Cobol programs!

And there is no Problem to Change the isam code to SQL code! Of Long side time, this will be the better solution!

We are using Database Connectors because this is what we decided to do.

Hello AmyM1,

 

Database Connectors has not been formally tested with Transparent Database Encryption. However, my informal testing today has shown that with a SQL Server database with TDE enabled, Database Connectors works just fine. This makes sense, because I believe that TDE is supposed to be transparent to the application accessing the data.
