    A useful addition that many users have asked for.

    Of course, when the rows are inserted / updated, the
    changes are also reflected in the .log file in a clear text
    format and stay there until a CHECKPOINT is issued. But the
    patch works for sending properly shutdown confidential
    databases around.

    Hi,

    Could this be re-submitted again the current CVS baseline so
    that someone can incorporate it into the main development
    branch.

    Also has anybody thought about encrypted database files i.e.
    when the database is run as a server the db admin starts the
    database with a passphase and then all the data files that
    appear are encrypted for added security. It would mean the
    clients don't change but the database files are encrypted not
    cleartext as they are currently. This would mean that
    nobody could look at the datafiles and bypass the db login
    mechanism.

    Cheers

    Matt
