PostgreSQL's PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT log security
In one of our project, I tried to use PostgreSQL's security extension pgcrypto. I found that is function, PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT is quite handy. Using this function enable me to query encrypted data with LIKE %keyword%, BETWEEN etc, which I can not achieve if I use programming language such as Java or PHP to encrypt the data then insert it into the database.
However, I found an issue. Once I execute queries with PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT new line in the log file is written. Interestingly, the log is including the password in PLAIN!
Of course, IMO, this is unacceptable. I want to secure my password, in the same time I also want to log any change (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) into my database.
Is there any way to hide this password information from the log file?
