Hello, I am returning back to my patch from last previous year http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2008-04/msg00166.php . The main objection was about integration encryption method into core. There was others proposal - using an obfuscate languages. I dislike it. It lot of duplicate code - we need trap only reading and writing to/from pgproc. It should be implemented via "obfuscated hook". Column bool obfuscated will be added to pg_proc and will be signal using an obfuscation.
Demo: create function hello(varchar) returns varchar as $$ select 'Hello, || $1; $$ language sql obfuscate; ERROR: obfuscate plugin isn't active load obfuscate_plugin; create function hello(varchar) ... $$ language sql obfuscate; CREATE FUNCTION advantages: 1. all PL languages will be supported without changes in code 2. everybody should implement own custom obfuscate plugin (strong, fast, temporar ...)
