Encrypted databases

If I wanted to start investigating encrypted databases and built-in support for encrypted content in databases, where might I go? I'd prefer to begin with something reasonably colloquial that just surveys the issues and the possible approaches and architectures, without getting into the actual business of encryption.

This is topical in the UK this week, but that's not the reason I'm asking. (Some minor government robot in the Revenue not only sent the confidential bank details of most of the country to someone who didn't ask for them and didn't want them, he put the unencrypted CD in the post and it disappeared.)
