Version: IDS 10 We have need to encrypt few columns of the database. One of the options I looked at was encryption functions provided by informix. But, when I asked some of the consultant they told us that Informix has performance issues in using their encryption functions. They recommend to NOT use informix's encryption function. I wanted to know if this is the case, and if yes, then is it going to be improved in next versions of IDS.
