Does anyone have experience using the feature in PG 8.4 (maybe earlier
versions too??) to store specific columns in an encrypted format? We are
gathering sensitive data for medical studies and want to use Postgresql,
however, we need to insure that the data is secure to satisfy federal
HIPAA regulations. One way to do that would be to store some or all of it
in an encrypted format.
