Hi, I have a database which has been set to encoding UTF-8. I have a table in this database in which i store the details of all the registered users. I am using PL/PGSQL and using one function i am entering the values into the database. There is one column for entering the passwords of all registered users. I want to store these passwords in an encrypted manner in the table. Can i encrypt the password in the stored procedure and will i not loose any data by entering the passwords in an encrytped manner. Thanks in advance, Regards, deepthi

There are a range of encryption functions available in contrib/pgcrypto in the source distribution. Some encryption is one-way (so you can't recover the original password, just confirm a provided password matches it). Other encryption is two-way, but you usually have a separate key to encrypt the passwords then. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
