Our core software is an IIS/.net app with a SQL backend. Every so often we need to copy that DB to our test environment. I had a script that performs a number of functions, one of which is hashing a string that gets inserted into a password field on the customer records.
The vendor has changed the storage method and hashing process. The only option I have available is to use some CLR functions for the task. My script though, is just something I rung from the SSMS query editor.
Can I call CLR functions from there? Do I have to enclose it all in a stored procedure and call the CLR component from a file? I've found a couple of tutorials, but all refer to an external location rather than something I can drop into my query editor.
