RESTORE SYMMETRIC KEY (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server 2022 (16.x)

Note

SQL Server 2022 (16.x) introduces support for exporting and importing symmetric keys, either to or from Azure Blob storage or file.

Imports the symmetric key.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

RESTORE SYMMETRIC KEY key_name FROM 
  {
    FILE = 'path_to_file'
  | URL = 'Azure Blob storage URL'
  }
      DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
      ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password' 

Arguments

FILE ='path_to_file'
Specifies the complete path, including file name, to the file to which the symmetric key will be exported. The path may be a local path or a UNC path to a network location.

URL ='Azure Blob storage URL' Is the URL for your Azure Blob storage, in the format similar to https://<storage_account_name>.blob.core.windows.net/<storage_container_name>/<backup_file_name>.bak.

DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD ='password' Specifies the password that is required to decrypt the symmetric key that is being imported from a file.

ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD ='password'
Specifies the password that is used to encrypt the symmetric key after it has been loaded into the database. This password is subject to complexity checks. For more information, see Password Policy.

Prerequisite

In order to restore the symmetric key from an Azure Blob storage, you need to:

  1. Have an Azure storage account with the symmetric key backup.
  2. Create stored access policy and shared access storage.
  3. Create a SQL Server credential using a shared access signature.

For more information, see Tutorial: Use Azure Blob Storage with SQL Server.

Permissions

Requires ALTER permission on the symmetric key. If adding encryption by a certificate or asymmetric key, requires VIEW DEFINITION permission on the certificate or asymmetric key. If dropping encryption by a certificate or asymmetric key, requires CONTROL permission on the certificate or asymmetric key.

Examples

In the following example, the symmetric key is restored from a file.

RESTORE SYMMETRIC KEY symmetric_key
   FROM FILE = 'c:\temp_backups\keys\symmetric_key' 
   DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '3dH85Hhk003#GHkf02597gheij04'   
   ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '259087M#MyjkFkjhywiyedfgGDFD'; 

In the following example, the symmetric key is restored from an Azure Blob storage.

RESTORE SYMMETRIC KEY symmetric_key 
   FROM URL = 'https://mydocsteststorage.blob.core.windows.net/mytestcontainer/symmetric_key.bak'
   DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '3dH85Hhk003#GHkf02597gheij04'   
   ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '259087M#MyjkFkjhywiyedfgGDFD';
