Read MoreOrganizations need to protect their data, especially the personal data entrusted to them from their users and customers. In order to do so, the data transferred by a database over the network needs to be secure.

These can range from adding another column to the index or adding another column to the INCLUDE clause. The big question at the end of the day is: how to do this without having to take downtime on the indexes?
