I have MySQL 2.0.39 on Win NT and I use md5() to create a digest of the password. Perhaps not the highest level of password encryption, but works for the level of security I need.

I would like to know how I can encrypt these values so that they are not stored how in the way that my customers have keyed them from the front end. I have read the documentation on password(), and encrypt but it won't work as I am using windows os and mysql version 3.23.49-max-nt-log. I appreciate any help on this. cheers, Ki Mien ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cOntact @ Lycos <http://contact.lycosasia.com> = 10MB for email and filestore + lots of other goodies... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
