Its usually unnecessary to encrypt all data in a database.
Customer's do not understand exactly what they are asking for.
Most commercial databases offer such facilities without you doing any
work.
With WO, you can implement the encryption yourself at the EO level.
Its a significant overhead that could impact the performance of your
application.
At the end of the day, the data is only as secure as the keys that
you use for your encryption.
I would recommend getting a thorough understanding of the clients'
concern and any associated legislative framework and go from there.

Hello
We recently had a request for our application but they want the
data that is stored in the database to be encrypted.
We are using mySQL. Anyone know anything at all about this?
I can't comment on the performance because I've only done this on
my iBook which is used for development, but you could put the MySQL
data directory onto an encrypted disk image.
Cheers,
Graham.
