Re: Would PostgreSQL 16 native transparent data encryption support database level encryption?

Thanks. I think I had a misunderstanding over the "cluster" eariler. So a
PostgreSQL cluster is a PostgreSQL server that we're talking about in
general. This means per-DB KEY within a cluster/server is impossible
without splitting the whole shared storage among databases, which is indeed
a significant amount of work.

I cannot speak on behalf of Rubrik - I'm just exploring PostgreSQL as a
solution for one of my team's projects thus the questions. Nothing is
finalized yet but we prefer a managed solution provided by some cloud infra
providers so the context I'm getting here will allow me to better
understand our provider's solution and their road map.
