The point of a data base is storing ASCII or
unicode not encypting the data... encrypting the data IN the database is a bad
idea.... what happens if you ever lose the key ??? you lose ALL your data...
Additionally -- encryption keys are usually machine-dependent so you lose the
ability to migrate to new hardware and possibly the ability to upgrade the RDBMS
engine itself...
It sounds to me like your issues are really about
security and access control.... You'd be better off using an ACL and locking
down your server...
