I was hoping that with this new feature (google's) where 
mysql itself, internally uses keys to encrypt/decrypt tables 
or tablespaces I could just secure data, simply.
Chance is I don't quite get the concept, I believe I have 
one table encrypted (trying stings on it suggests) yet I can 
just query it and dump as normal.
I understand it's kind of database-file encryption, 
protection against just grabbing a file and trying to run it 
somewhere else, am I right?
If above is the case the from php perspective nothing should 
be different, it should be transparent, no?

many thanks
