Hi, I was wondering if there is a function in postgresql , as in mysql for password encription.Any suggestions are greatly appriciated. Thanks, Radhika.
are you looking for function that handles passwords? do ihave understand well? Ok, using mysql you can: 1) calculate passwords string from plaitext string (select password ('strring to passwordize'); 2) calculate passwords using the unix crypt function; 3) calculate the md5 checksum for a string.
you can execute a lot of other password calculation. take a look here: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/full/manual_toc.html#Miscellaneous_functions
