Description

As the title says, Secure Enclaves with Azure Databases appears to be unsupported at this time. It would be a great benefit to support Secure Enclaves for sqlcmd queries for those of us using this feature.

Consider adding command line args for secure enclaves, attestation protocol, and attestation URL in order to support both hardware/SGX Secure Enclaves and VBS Secure Enclaves. Currently when performing an operation that triggers enclave computations, an error is returned (as expected):

The statement triggers enclave computations, but a column encryption key, needed for the computations, has not been found inside the enclave. Check that: (1) column encryption and enclave computations are enabled on connection, (2) driver is enclave-enabled. For additional reasons see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2086681.

Research direction

Start with sqlcmd's command-line argument handling and Azure Database connection setup, then reproduce the shown error using a query that triggers enclave computations. Done means sqlcmd accepts secure-enclave, attestation-protocol, and attestation-URL options and supports both hardware/SGX and VBS Secure Enclaves without the reported error.
