Hi,
If I have a database which is not encrypted and have some data in it ,
can I now encrypt that database ? In all the manuals they talk abt
how to create a new encrypted database. Its no where mentioned that if
you can or can not encrypt already existing database which is not
encrypted.
Hello Supal,
I don't think encrypting an existing (unencrypted) database is possible
yet, but there is somebody working on adding this feature. You can track
the progress by watching the issue DERBY-1156:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1156
Does anyone know if this issue is still on track for the upcoming 10.2
release?
I am working on the feature (DERBY-1156) that will allow users to
configure an existing un-encrypted database for encryption. I hope to
finish this work for upcoming 10.2 release.
Hi Suresh & Kristian,
Thanks for the response. I checked the Issue DERBY-1156 and it seems that the
development work on that issue is almost over. Then I downloaded latest db-
derby-snapshot-10.2.0.3-412239 but that does not have your changes.
Can you help me with how can I get the patch for this issue ? Is it included
in any of alpha snapshots ? The only way to get this patch is download the
complete development trunk and build it or is there any other shortcut :) ?
When is the oficial release expected?
According to http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoRelease, 10.2 is
targeted for release the 19th of September.
I don't know when the next snapshot, or maybe release candidate, will be
generated.
If you want to download and build Derby yourself, you can find the
necessary information at http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
Please note that this will cause the alpha version tag to be set, which
disables database upgrade. This is also true for the 10.2 pre-release
snapshots.
Depending on your usage environment (testing, production etc), you might
not find this acceptable.
If you decide to build Derby yourself, we'll help you out if you get
stuck. We would also appreciate feedback on how the build instructions
could be made better!
