There are packages you can buy which will encrypt the entire disk, or a
partition of it below OS level. The disk cannot be read without a BIOS
level password, even if you remove the drive to another PC. If you are
worried about database going off-site on a laptop etc then I'd suggest
looking into such a package.

do not write in normal format, but in coded. So If original field value is
"John Smith", when pass through coding function it will be
"asdfjkaslFASD2EX", written in database.
And values of fields could be read only by program. Is it OK, or there
is some better way to protect data from reading out of program.
It this unsafe or not.
I Use MySQL. I undestand that after new installation, root can open any
database... I would like to avoid reading data, outseide of program.
Thank you in advance...
