Thanks to those of you who responded, much appreciated. Tim's Oracle-base
received several recommendations, so he must be doing something right. :)
Jeremy, your brain dump was helpful as well.
Is there a good use case for the "database default wallet" that can be
shared with other Oracle components, versus the "encrypted wallet" that is
used specifically for TDE? I find the terminology distracting, especially
since Oracle "strongly recommends" using the latter and not the former. Why
even make the former available?
