Functions are there, aes_encrypt and aes_decrypt, in the MariaDB community version.
By columns did you mean generated columns like:
MariaDB [test]> create table t(data varbinary(30), enc varbinary(30) as (AES_ENCRYPT(data, 'bar', '0123456789abcdef', 'aes-128-ctr')) virtual); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.001 sec) MariaDB [test]> insert into t (data) values ('dog'),('cat'),('chicken'); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.002 sec) Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 MariaDB [test]> select * from t; +---------+---------+ | data | enc | +---------+---------+ | dog | �|C | | cat | �rP | | chicken | �{MVĴw | +---------+---------+yes, that is what I mean and I tested that. But just want to confirm if this function is permanently supported for the community version or if this can be taken away in the future. thanks
"Permanent" is hard to predict and there's no status to denote "cannot be taken away in future", but they are a core part of the server, had recent improvements in MariaDB 11.2, and MariaDB strives to keep backward compatibility, so I don't see any prospect of removal.
