# Decrypt encrypted table |
||||
|
||||
## Method 1. Change the access method |
||||
|
||||
If you encrypted a table with the `tde_heap_basic` access method and need to decrypt it, run the following command against the desired table (`mytable` in the example below): |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
ALTER TABLE mytable SET access method heap; |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Check that the table is not encrypted: |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
SELECT pg_tde_is_encrypted('mytable'); |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The output returns `f` meaning that the table is no longer encrypted. |
||||
|
||||
## Method 2. Create a new unencrypted table on the base of the encrypted one |
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can create a new unencrypted table with the same structure and data as the initial table. For example, the original encrypted table is `EncryptedCustomers`. Use the following command to create a new table `Customers`: |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
CREATE TABLE Customers AS |
||||
SELECT * FROM EncryptedCustomers; |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The new table `Customers` inherits the structure and the data from `EncryptedCustomers`. |
||||
|
||||
(Optional) If you no longer need the `EncryptedCustomers` table, you can delete it. |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
DROP TABLE EncryptedCustomers; |
||||
``` |
