title: Is it possible to encrypt data using T-SQL for Always Encrypted columns?
body: <p>It's possible to use either the Encrypt Columns wizard in SSMS or Powershell to encrypt the data in Always Encrypted columns but can you use T-SQL for this? </p>
  
  <p>To be clear, I don't want to create keys or columns that support encrypted columns, I want to complete the actual data encryption commensurate to the <code>Set-SqlColumnEncryption</code> cmdlet in Powershell but with T-SQL.</p>
