Explanation

Database encryption operates at the database level and supports granular encryption of specific objects such as tables, columns, or rows. This is the only option that allows targeting a specific table within a structured data store. Full disk encryption encrypts everything on a drive indiscriminately. Individual file encryption operates on the filesystem level, not within a database structure. Removable media encryption applies to portable storage devices, not database tables.
