[Question] Migrating existing data #7

Closed jbarczyk closed 3 years ago

jbarczyk commented 4 years ago

Is there a good way to migrate existing data using this extension? Usecase: Database with data already existing and the data needs to be encrypted

Eastrall commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Unfortunately, the library doesn't support this use case. We can add this feature to the library's roadmap thought.

Would be great, thanks!

If you're using MySQL you can use the AES_ENCRYPT() function to encrypt existing data.

PR #25 has introduced a migration provider: https://github.com/Eastrall/EntityFrameworkCore.DataEncryption/releases/tag/v3.0.0
