May I know if transparent data encryption is now available natively in PostgreSQL

MongoDB 6.0 is out and seems as if it's a worthy candidate to consider after all the hiccups with 5.0.
With all the marketing messaging I am failing to distinguish which features made it to the Community Edition stream and which are limited to Enterprise Edition and/or Atlas.
For one I see (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/queryable-encryption/) that for the queryable encryption the CE is getting the Explicit Encryption where as the Automatic Encryption is reserved for EE/Atlas. Any chance someone has done an analysis of what has made it to CE?
I have an old application handling data on a DB2 server (Linux version, 9.7 express-c) and I need to upgrade the server. I searched on the IBM site and I found that the last "free" version (11.5) is the only one available, but I cannot restore a backup taken from a 9.7 directly into the 11.5.
Is there any other way instead of using db2look and db2move?
Do anyone know if it's possible to find the 11.1 developer Linux version?
You can download the server-fixpack via https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6427871
( IBM registration is required ),
This is an indirect way to IBM passport advantage website. It's important to choose the "DB2 Server Fix Pack" as distinct from other images. It is wise to always download the most recent fixpack for the release when using the Server-Fixpack, these fixpacks are cumulative and do not require the base version to be preinstalled.
You can get a trial license with it and just do the intermediate restore (from the v9.7 backup-image into a disposable Db2 v11.1 instance, then backup that database offline and copy the image to a place accessible to your Db2 v11.5 new instance.
You can then drop the v11.1 db2instance, and uninstall the Db2 v11.1 product.
Finally restore that Db2 v11.1 backup image into your Db2 v11.5 instance. This will upgrade the database to the Db2 v11.5 release, consider running db2updv115 afterwards, and revalidating all objects with SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECTS etc.
Whether the above indirect method is quicker (or easier) than using db2move to export and load, will depend on the complexity of your database. Worth checking...if your Db2 v9.7 instance is still running of course.
Other methods are possible, if you want to spend $$ on recovery tools that extract data from backup images.
As mentionned in Oracle documention: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/editions.htm#DBLIC116,
Asynchronous change data capture is not available in Oracle Standard Edition.
So the question is : is "realtime pipeline" (vs batch pipeline) mode working with Oracle Standard Edition in Google Cloud Data Fusion ?
Cloud Data Fusion currently does not support this capability. However, there are plans to support it, if the oracle instance has GoldenGate or LogMiner enabled.
My mongodb is in version 3.0 and run on Linux Redhat 6.
I do not use entreprise options, then I would like to switch enterprise edition to community edition. Any drawback on data? It's much like binary upgrade?
Unless you are using an Enterprise storage engine (eg. Encrypted Storage Engine in MongoDB 3.2+), the data format in MongoDB Community and Enterprise editions is identical and changing between editions is just a change in the MongoDB server binaries. If you need to change storage engines you can do so without downtime on replica sets using a rolling maintenance procedure (see: Your Ultimate Guide to Rolling Upgrades).
I would recommend using matching release versions when changing between MongoDB Enterprise and Community editions to minimize any unexpected issues. The standard upgrade/compatibility caveats (as mentioned in the MongoDB Release Notes) apply if you happen to be upgrading or downgrading between major MongoDB versions (i.e. 3.2 and 3.4).
I read from the enterprise db website that only the Postgres standard server and advanced server support Npgsql.
But am not sure if
1. Npgsql will not work with community version at all ?? or
2. It is just that it is not packaged along with community version,but I can use npgsql to connect and work with postgresql from .Net
Can someone help me understand?

EnterpriseDB is not the same as PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL is PostgreSQL, it's not a "community version" from EnterpriseDB. EnterpriseDB Server is a fork of PostgreSQL, not the other way around.
And yes, Npgsql does work with PostgreSQL, it was created for PostgreSQL:
Npgsql is a .Net Data Provider for Postgresql. It allows any program
developed for .Net framework to access database server. It is
implemented in 100% C# code. Works with Postgresql 7.x and above.
