Hi Joseph, Does MySQL default to encrypt the data it stores on disk? I know the XML isn't encrypted by default, but it isn't especially hard to do with the correct tools at one's disposal, (along with other sensitive files that might be lurking under ~/ ) I'm not sure that there's much *real* security gain (vs perceived gain) from the requirement of an extra password to open the database in MySQL?
