It seems that "database encryption" was a topic previously discussed long time ago and it was concluded that encryption would not be more secure than obfustication in some scenarios. But still, I think there are other scenarios where encryption is the only methold to help secure the data. Since there are already some code (currently disabled) in the source, I wonder why it has never been released as a feature to the public? As mentioned in ticket "CORE-1913" (Firebird Core - Database encryption revisited, http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-1913), in some applications, even the law requires encryption as a must-have. I wish this feature be made active as soon as possible. Any comment/insight on this? Thanks
