However, what if I want only part of my source columns encrypted (eg the sensitive parts), and the rest not (eg customer stored procedures; or things the vendor doesn't want to hide). Just indiscriminately trying to apply the key to encrypt would mean that also things I don't want to hide get encrypted, and when applying to decrypt would make unencrypted source code unreadable.
