Seems fair enough to me, though the article could do with a lead-in that explains what's being protected, the premise that the database server is a separate machine, etc.

Protecting the client side would be a completely different approach. Outboard/upstream tokenization or something. If it's directly serving up the sensitive data, there's no real way to leverage encryption for protection there.
