Well, you could wrap everything into PHP and use one of these PHP obfuscators. 
I haven't heard about encrypting the entire database, but you can for sure put 
some encryption on some fields (I wouldn't bother with an autoinc field).
Still, I wonder why you want to do that? Do you distrust your hosting company 
that much? In that case I'd look for a different provider.
