There is not some thing secret to be stored but the idea is to encrypt
customer credit card information so it is not avilable to unauthorized
users but key cannot be stored in source code as any body who can hack
databases to pull out the information can also hack key from source
code, so make the risk 0% i wanted to know where to store the key but
now James Black has suggested to pass the key on application startup and
not to store on disk which is a good idea and will try to implement that.
Thanks evey one for your help.
Love ..

I think this question could not be answered globally.
What exactly do you want to store where, and who should or should not
be able
to read the data?
Is it that you want to store something secret into a table which
should only
be readable by a particular mysql-user?
