No, but if you just use the database to search for preferences, then
you would just use it to search for a specific field, the field is
not crypted, just the value inside the field, like make the table in
the database be like a dictionary, like
rowid int, key varchar, value varchar
And the value would always be crypted, but the key would not. Then
you can always search for the key, which would always return 1 record.
Depends on the implementation on the preference.

Much better is to encrypt all info inside the database, each
field, read it in, de-crypt it for use, then discard the variable.
Never leave the database de-crypted.
If all the info inside is encrypted then does SELECT work correctly
to search for data ?
