Decrypting a Database

Decrypts the database using the configured plugin and key

Syntax
ALTER {DATABASE | SCHEMA} DECRYPT

Decryption starts immediately after this statement completes, and will be performed in the background.Normal operations of the database are not disturbed during decryption.

Note

SCHEMA is currently a synonym for DATABASE;this may change in a future version, so we recommend to always use DATABASE
