For self-hosting, pgsodium supports a variety of ways to place the root key into Postgres. To see the decrypted data, there is a special view created called vault. The actual raw key is not available to you in SQL, it is managed entirely outside of the SQL language in the Postgres server. If you take a backup or pause your project, that data remains encrypted. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
