Do you mean that it can be fine even if I use the encryption feature?

Do you mean it is unreliable to keep the data pointers coming from a read-only
cursor if I wrote a lot of data into it? Even if I collect those data pointers
AFTER I have finished writing entries into the database?

Because, according to the documentation, my solution is valid in the sense that
no updates are performed while I iterate on the database entries. Therefore the
threads are reading frozen pointers to the mmap area.
