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
