It looks like that also USA-resident DBAdmins have to protect their data, at least when their data are related to someone else's personal health:
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/hipaa/ http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/ http://www.hipaa.org/ This seems to give to this "db encryption" issue the status of "global relevance" that would deserve a more systematic approach. I mean: no homegrown solutions - rather have the community to develop a specific, standard extension of PostgreSQL and put it into the distro. I wonder if it is the case to contact the PostrgreSQL developers and signal this (new and annoying) issue.
