Can I obfuscate the SQL code in MySQL?

Question

I'm trying to find some way to obfuscate SQL code in MySQL.

In the Oracle databases exists the "wrap" funcionality, but I didn't found some similar. Some ideas?

The final goal is that the client has some difficuties to understand the code.

I think MySQL do not have the ability to obfuscate the code. You can encapsulate the whole SQL query code by creating a STORED PROCEDURE, although not encapsulated but at least your whole SQL query is not shown when used inside your code (PHP, .Net, and the like...).
