encrypt database

Hi,
Sorry for the message in spanish I confused the group.
Is there a way to encrypt a database (tables, columns, etc.) ? I want that
nobody can see the data model of my application
Probably it's impossible to deny access to the database, but at least if
someone is trying to copy my design he/she will see the name of objects,
columns, and others encrypted. (For example instead of see the table
ARTICLE, see symbols ="!!°$%&/- )
I'll appreciate your comments.
Edmundo J. DavilaYou can assign certificates and encryption keys under the security
folder of a database in SQL Server Management Studio, however, these
only encrypt the data stream that is sent from a SQL Server instance
to any SQL Server Agents.
If you install SQL Server to run from inside of Microsoft Virtual
Server, then the entire database file will be stacker compressed which
would be unreadable to human eyes. But, with any kind of encryption,
SQL Server will have to spend time decrypting fields as it walks any
kind of search and this will cause a significant performance hit.
