I followed this link through and read the full message (having missed it the first time round), and while I find the idea of using base64 to sanitise text interesting I can also forsee a few difficulties: It would prevent anyone from accessing the database directly and getting meaningful results unless the en/decode is in triggers, or maybe stored procedures. No more one-off command-line queries. How would you search an encoded column for matching text? I'd be interested in any ideas folk have about these issues, or any others they can envisage with this proposal.
