What version of the database are we talking about here? Always helpful
knowledge.
If it’s a supported version, I’d open an SR with Oracle, to be honest. You
should not be seeing this kind of impact from encryption unless your server was
already sitting on the edge.
Depending on your version, there are known bugs (and – yes – bug fixes) for
problems related to encryption and performance.
Where are you seeing your biggest impacts? CPU, IO response times, changed
execution plans? What was the command you used to do the encryption? Did you
encrypt with or without salt? In other words, what have you done to quantify
the problem you are seeing?
Stay the course and figure out this problem would be my suggestion. Don’t just
jump ship because you’re taking on a little water.

Yes right... Did not encrypt the system sysaux undo n temp..

You say “almost all the datafiles of the database”. I assume you mean
tablespaces rather than datafiles but just wanted to confirm that you didn’t
encrypt SYSTEM, SYSAUX, UNDO or TEMP?

All,
We have encrypted almost all the datafiles of the database, post that the
performance of the database degraded to almost 40-50%
Could anyone suggest what is the other alternative method that we can use in
order to secure data with bit performance impact.
Regards,
Arun
