Query on TDE

Posted by karasanr on 25-Nov-2016 07:02

Hi All,

We are implementing TDE in 11.5 production databases. We have 6000 active users.

Is it advisable to decrypt online, if we face any performance issue? 

If we do decryption online during business hours, will it cause locking issue for users?

Thanks & Regards,

Karasanr

Performance degradation caused by TDE is /very/ low. You should not notice it.

A TDE encrypted database behaves the same as an unencrypted one so will not cause any locking issues.

Thanks Gus for your response.

We have implemented TDE yesterday in production. It looks good until now.
