This may be a weird question, but we were wondering if there was some sort
of way to encrypt or protect the database just in case of someone hacking
into the server it resides on. Since there might be some sensitive info in
the database, we'd like to go to as great a lengths as possible (only
usernames, etc., but still...). We already plan on just reading and writing
to those fields when necessary with an SSL, but would there be any other
options other than hoping my host runs all the updates when they need to and
have a good firewall?Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.-Bill
