md5 is a hash function, not encryption. It's good for trap-door

RB's database is sqlite3, and it doesn't do AES_(EN|DE)CRYPT. The
feature request should go to sqlite.org...
Dr. Hipp, the original author of SQLite, has an encryption solution
that can be added to SQLIte itself.
REAL is aware of this

as this would permit totally encrypted databases even when they are in
use
OTOH, there is a commercial
solution at http://www.sqlcrypt.com for [supposedly, I haven't tried
it] seamless encryption of the whole database. But this is not the
same thing entirely. Anyway, 149$ for that is a bit expensive I'd say,
as this could be easily replicated in RB with openssl's encryption
functions. Maybe that's a good subject to broach in RBDeveloper...
And in order to use it you have to recompile the SQLite plugin, which
is better left in REAL's hands as the original authors of the plugin
