So you answered your own question...though you can encrypt the data being
stored within the table by supplying it pre-encrypted and letting the
client deal with encryption and decryption - which is probably your best
bet anyway.

Almost everything is possible if you throw enough time and effort at it so
I'm not sure how to constructively answer the last two questions. Why do
you ask?
