quiesce database

You can use quiesce database when the database containing encrypted columns also contains the encryption key.

You must use with override to quiesce a database whose columns are encrypted with keys used in other databases.

quiesce database key_db, col_db is allowed, where key_db is the database with the encryption key and col_db is the database with a table that has a column encrypted with the key in key_db.

For example, the following commands succeed when key_db contains the encryption key used to encrypt columns in col_db:

quiesce database key_tag hold key_db for external
         dump to '/tmp/keydb.dat'

quiesce database encr_tag hold col_db for external dump       to '/tmp/col.dat' with override

quiesce database col_tag hold key_db, col_db for 
    external dump to '/tmp/col.dat'
