Hi Diego,

There are several options, and it really depends on what you are
after. There are third party products that encrypt an entire volume
if you are after protecting the entire database. As has been
discussed here before, it is pretty pointless putting encryption in

My guess though is that you are trying to hide their password etc.
You can put this functionality inside a UDF if you want to do it in
the database itself. By the way, if you are only using it for
passwords, then you do not need a reversible encryption, a simple
implementation of SHA-1 is more than sufficient, and not too hard to
come by either.
