How about just encrypting the fields in the database? This way the application and application developers will have access to usable (i.e. decrypted) data whereas the Database Administrators will only see encrypted data but will still be able to perform their job (backup, restore etc).
And to actually work with the data you'd have to retrieve the contents of entire tables from the database, decrypt them on the client and then run your actual query on the now-local data. IOW you lose almost any advantage a database gives you. Regards Ansgar Wiechers -- "All vulnerabilities deserve a public fear period prior to patches becoming available." --Jason Coombs on Bugtraq
