Its usually unnecessary to encrypt all data in a database.
Customer's do not understand exactly what they are asking for.
This is true; typically encrypting data on-disk only helps if the
disk gets stolen. Locking the allen key on the front of the Xserve
which is itself locked in a rack which is itself locked in a server
room which is itself locked in a building has, so far, stopped that
from happening to me :-). However while the customer may not know
what they're talking about, giving them encrypted data allows them to
fell smug and tick the box against your name. OTOH patiently
explaining why they're wrong may lead to loss of a sale...
