There might be other applications on the server so the administrators do

About the raw database files, I can use encryption to protect the data.
Well, if it's your client's machine, then they any competent
administrator will be able to work around anything you do. They set the
ground-rules you work in - you could be running inside a virtual machine
and never know.
If your database design is so advanced that you can't chance it falling
into the hands of others then you'll need to keep a separate machine and
lock it down yourself.
Are your clients really so dishonest that they'd break into the database
and take the necessary steps to hide their tracks too?
