操作数类型冲突：varchar 与尝试插入加密数据库的 varchar(50) 不兼容

Question

I am getting a SqlException :

Operand type clash: varchar is incompatible with varchar(50) encrypted with (encryption_type = 'DETERMINISTIC', encryption_algorithm_name = 'AEAD_AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256', column_encryption_key_name = 'CEK_Auto1', column_encryption_key_database_name = 'PB') collation_name = 'SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'\\r\\nIncorrect parameter encryption metadata was received from the client. The error occurred during the invocation of the batch and therefore the client can refresh the parameter encryption metadata by calling sp_describe_parameter_encryption and retry.

My C# code:

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(GetConnectionString()))
{
    using (var cmd = new SqlCommand("Clients_Insert", connection))
    {
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

        cmd.Parameters.Add("@Email", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = client.Email;
        cmd.Parameters.Add("@ContactPerson", SqlDbType.VarChar, 400).Value = client.ContactPerson;

        connection.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}

And my stored procedure:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Clients_Insert]
    @Email VARCHAR(50),
    @ContactPerson VARCHAR(400)
AS
BEGIN
    INSERT into dbo.Clients(Email, ContactPerson) 
    VALUES (@Email, @ContactPerson);

    SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY();
END;

I have no problems with inserting data into not encrypted fields.

I found this article

My issue is similiar but i haven't found the solution.

Answer 1

There are 2 things you can try,

Ensure that Column encryption setting is enabled in your connection string. This can be done using a SqlConnectionStringBuilder object and setting SqlConnectionStringBuilder.ColumnEncryptionSetting to Enabled as follows

strbldr.ColumnEncryptionSetting = SqlConnectionColumnEncryptionSetting.Enabled;

If your stored procedure was created before you encrypted your column, you will need to refresh metadata for your stored procedure as follows

Use [Database]
GO    
--Do this for all stored procedures
EXEC sys.sp_refresh_parameter_encryption @name = '[dbo].[Clients_Insert]'

Answer 2

If someone is still looking for an answer on this, what worked for me is that you need to use DbType.AnsiStringFixedLength data type in the SqlParameter data type, for the encrypted columns.

任何仍然面临这个问题并且上述检查都没有帮助的人，请确保过程和代码中的参数名称完全匹配（区分大小写）。
