If you have a large number of amount of data, that's going to be slow, require downtime, and potentially put unnecessary load on the database server. Large transactions are rarely a programmer's friend. That said, it would be easier in the short-term and for small databases. So certainly better than nothing. > > However, we have no easy way to change key should that key be leaked or > > found to be to simple to crack > > > It's generated so cracking shouldn't be an issue.

Theoretically we might learn of new computing methods that mean the generated key is too weak, and we need to employ a different algorithm. What Martin is saying is that there's no way to currently re-encrypt using a stronger/unknown key. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
