Fully encrypt PARTIALLY encrypted database #30

This is related to the excellent work in https://github.com/garbados/comdb/pull/28.

As part of a software update, I have a use case where I want to administratively deploy new data to a remote database that is fully encrypted by comdb. The resulting database will have a mix of encrypted and unencrypted data. I would like the unencrypted data to be encrypted upon syncing with user client application (without double encrypted existing data).

Hey hey, I've been pretty busy and haven't been able to get around to this yet. In the meantime, can you explain in more detail? I'm not sure I understand the step-by-step of your beginning state and desired end state. And, why would you want a database with a mix of encrypted and unencrypted data?
