Yes, I intended offline attacks, and also agree that ilesystem-level encryption will be a solution. However, as I wrote in the first mail, standard users want to avoid encrypted filesystems that are not maintained or supported officially. I just suggested postgres to have an alternative solution of filesystem-level encryption or infrastructure providing easy way to define new types that have only difference in typin/typout attributes, such as CREATE TYPE INHERITS or CREATE DOMAIN WITH INPUT/OUTPUT. It is too difficult for standard users to define operators and index support methods.
