Comment (by olly):

 > I think this has to be a per Database setting, which can only be enabled
 at creation or right after compaction (or perhaps enabling it goes through
 and zeros out stuff, etc but that's probably comparable work to
 compacting).

 Or you can enable it at any point, but the semantics in that case are that
 it'll only reliably protect data added after you enabled it.
