I think you have a different definition of "security" from most of us. There
are techniques you could use that would prevent your customer from having
easy direct access to the database on his machine -- but they would also
prevent him from making backups or recovering from a computer problem.
They'd also require a lot of work on your part.
Overall, if your goal is to prevent your customer from having control of their
own data, I don't think an open-source database is the best choice for
you. ;-b
