The current work to include TDE in PG isn't contemplating a per-database
key option. What's the use-case for that? Why do you feel that you'd
need two independent keys? Also, the general idea currently is that
we'll have one key provided by the user which will be a KEK and then
multiple DEKs (different ones for relation data vs. temporary data vs.
the WAL).
If you're interested in TDE in PG, we could certainly use more folks
being involved and working to push it forward.
Thanks,
Stephen
