Basic hashing is done with the algorithm you prefer. Default is sha1, but you can select any that is supported by mhash. The hash used is only for indexing. If a possible key collision (same hash) is detected, a byte for byte comparison is done to make sure the blob really is identical. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
