It appears that, for reasons I cannot begin to imagine, SSL is only supported for mySQL database connections, and not postgres. Is this correct? Does anyone know if there are plans to implement SSL for postgres? At the moment, it seems that my only options are to either accept the limitations

A file-based database (most of them are unless you are talking about memory-only stores like memcache, redis, etc. which also still use networking layers) can still uses a network layer to provide access and security for a client. Aside from embedded ones, this is how they work. Doc Hawk, Is
