We have a requirement to encrypt the entire database. What is the best tool

only and using it to encrypt entire database is not a good use-case.
Is this which can be done best by file level encryption? What are the good
tools on Linux (RHES), preferably open-source.
If you are encrypting the entire database, use the filesystem.
