Transparent Data Encryption offers encryption at the file level and solves the problem of protecting data at rest. The encryption is transparent for users allowing them to access and manipulate the data and not to worry about the encryption process. The extension supports a keyring file and external Key Management Systems (KMS) through a Global Key Provider interface.
PL/Ruby is a procedural-language handler that lets you write database functions in Ruby, stored and executed inside PostgreSQL. You get the expressiveness of Ruby and its standard library with the full power of a native PostgreSQL function: plain functions, set-returning functions, triggers, event triggers, and procedures with transaction control.
