Access to this key is protected by encryption and decryption keys that are provided by the client. This allows a client to change (for example) the user password without requiring the entire database to be re-encrypted.</p> <p>It is not possible to turn a secure database into a plain-text database and vice-versa—this can only be done by copying the data from one database to another</p> <p>It is important to note that encrypting a database has an impact on performance.</p> <p>The <codeph>RDbStoreDatabase</codeph> and <codeph>RDbNamedDatabase</codeph> classes provide variants of the <codeph>Create()</codeph> and <codeph>Open()</codeph> functions that can create and open a secure database. The access key can be changed using the <codeph>ChangeSecurity()</codeph> member function of the <codeph>RDbDatabase</codeph> base class.</p> </conbody></concept>
