Feoder,

Yes, there are scripts available that use the DAC to decrypt, I mentioned that in my post. No one needs to purchase a tool, but purchasing a tool is also an option.

I agree that the WITH ENCRYPTION option is not very useful.

IMHO, encrypting stored procedures in SQL Server was a very silly idea to begin with, since it does not help anyone, especially people who do performance tuning. The only good reason for WITH ENCRYPTION I can think of is when a company releases a product based on SQL Server and when they want to ensure that the average user does not tamper with the code.
