1. A database network router apparatus for data tokenization, the apparatus comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memories operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause at least one of the one or more processors to: receive a request directed to a tokenized database, wherein the tokenized database contains one or more tokenized data values and wherein the request does not include any tokenized data values; apply one or more rules to the request; rewrite the request based on at least one of the one or more rules, wherein the rewritten request is configured to cause one or more non-tokenized data values specified in the request to be tokenized by a software agent resident on the tokenized database when data is added to the tokenized database as a result of the request and wherein the rewritten request is configured to cause the tokenized database to return non-tokenized data values when data is received from the tokenized database as a result of the request; and transmit the rewritten request to the tokenized database.
