I read a comment that when doing the data encryption at the database level as opposed to application level, some of the data will linger in its raw plain text format in the logs. True or false? and is it something I should worry about?

Yes. For example, a credit card number query may be printed in a log. You must disable or selectively log to prevent this from happening.
