DecryptText SQL FUNCTION

The DecryptText() function takes two (2) arguments and returns string from base 64. If any of the parameters are null or empty a null is returned. The first argument is the value which will be decrypted using AES 256 with second argument serving as the key. The key must match to original key to successfully decryt the string, the key is case sensitive.

If incorrect key is provided an error "Padding is invalid and cannot be removed." is generated.
