Hi,
the purpose of encrypting a database is to completly render the data within
the application and the db objects itself useless. This would prevent anyone
from getting a hold of anything within the application with text processors
or some other utilities. However, a negative side effect of encryption is a
pretty noticeable decrease in performance. For the application to be useful
to users it has to decrypt it...then encrypt it again afterwards...so you can
imagine that this might influence performance a bit.
HTH
Good luck
