I would agree using mysql, but I think you mean use aes_crypt()
aes_decrypt(), or encode decode, there is no decrypt().
So to insert a record
insert into sometable ('name','somestringname') values
('namevalue',aes_crypt('somestringvalue','somekey'))
Then to retrieve unencrypted:
select name, aes_decrypt(somestringname,'somekey') as somestringname
from sometable where name = 'smith'
something like that.

Roland,
Since you mentioned specifically mysql, don't forget that you can do
your encryption with a mysql function call. So you just need to do
a custom column or a direcdbms action.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/encryption-functions.html
you can call encrypt() when doing inserts or updates and call decrypt
() when doing selects
There are other variations, so take a look at the link above and go
from there.
