Question

I have a certificate with my SQL Server Database. What will happen after the certificate gets expired?

Will the record insertion, selection, deletion will work after certificate gets expired?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If your certificate gets expired there will be no effect. Certificate expiration is not enforced when the certificate is used for encryption.

Check this post for more information.

OTHER TIPS

It looks like you're using Transparent Data Encryption. If the certificate that protects the database master key expires, I'm pretty sure that the database will fail to start.
