Re: Encrypting and Decrypting Data

I could be wrong, but the original request here seems to be about all data going into and out of a table or tables being secured, which could be a real pain to deal with using custom encryption procedures. This is the kind of thing Oracle Advanced Security is designed for, and 8.1.6 has a quite sophisticated ability to encrypt the data stream. Naturally nothing in the world is free, so you take a performance hit on anything that needs to be encrypted/decrypted before access.
