I'm not sure what you mean by "MASTER database" (as opposed to which 
other database?) SQLite stores everything in a single file - data, 
indexes and all.

Unlike the situation here, you can't encrypt individual columns or 
tables with SQLite (at least not using any products I'm familiar with). 
You encrypt the whole file.

Well, if you created an index on those columns, then of course the index 
would contain values from them.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not 
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925
