encrypt database

Can I encryption the database itself?
Let say some one got a hold of my database, but since it encrypted they
cannot read it.
Thanks,
CulamCulam,
There is some software offered that will do this (google for: SQL Server
Encrypt, one hit is http://www.netlib.com/). However, I have never done
this.
FWIW,

We can find a lot of softwares that encrypt the database on the Internet.
The problem here is that we don't believe in the security mechanism of the
softwares we are using (Ex: SQL server,... ). Are you sure that the software
you are using to encrypte your database really secure?
