Does anyone know how to encrypt the data in a column in a table? I have a client that has a new table that will hold faculty salary information and they want to encrypt the salary column in their in-house table.

Any suggestions.

What is your oracle version TDE works only in 10gr2.
if your on <= 10gr2 then use DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.

TDE is a paying option.
You can use DBMS_CRYPTO.

Encryption is there to prevent from file theft and not from illegal access.
If you want to protect against accesses,, use views or VPD.

If illegal access is the objective, then Data Vault would be the OP's only option.

Database Vault is the next step after view and VDP.
Database Vault adds preventing accesses from privileged users like DBA.
