Then, it is passed to the storage manager, which then writes it to disk. When a table requires encryption, the data is sent to the TDE storage manager, where it is encrypted before written to disk. Similarly, when a client queries the database, the PostgreSQL core sends the request to the Buffer Manager which checks if the requested data is already in the buffer cache. If it’s not there, the Buffer Manager requests the data from the storage manager. The TDE storage manager reads the encrypted data from disk, decrypts it and loads it to the buffer cache. The Buffer Manager sends the requested data to the PostgreSQL core and then to the client.
