title: Securing sensitive data in a DB,is using H2 worth it?
body: <p>I am designing a web application at the moment, and one of the requirements is to secure the user credentials as well as their roles. Now ofc besides the usual pwd hashing + salt +....
  I was thinking of putting those specific tables in an encrypted H2 database, and the rest of the data ina MySQL db. the advantages of H2 in my case are: in-memory storage, so means faster access; encrypted db so an additional layer of security in case the server gets compromised.</p>
  
  <p>My question: is this a common practice when an additional security layer is demanded? meaning is it a good idea to seperate the login info (in my case, it is the sensitive data) from the other data?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
