Maybe. I guess it depends on your threat model. Encrypting the whole disk is a system setting,. Anybody who has access to the system can see everything on disk. You also have to have administrator privileges to set it up. Encrypting a single database file is an application setting. Some applications might want to hide there data from other applications on the same system, or from the user of the system. Whole disk encryption won't help there. And, database encryption requires no special privileges. -- D.
