> There isn't enough agreement to move some things from pgcrypto > to the core so this thread is being removed from the patch queue. I don't agree that we should just close discussion. Nobody seems happy with the status quo, which is that we provide md5 but not sha1, and are thus encouraging people to use md5 everywhere. At the very least, I think we need to add sha1. Adding sha* would be better, and adding other hashes would be better still (and make PG a better product, in my opinion: having things builtin vs. contrib is a huge distinction). I'd also like to emphasize that this is not a pgcrypto issue: while it provides the same functionality that this proposal does, so does creating a Pl/Perl function, which is the route I usually go, as it is much easier and portable. So I see this as adding missing features to core. We will obviously never replace pgcrypto entirely, due to the silly state of encryption legislation. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] End Point Corporation PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200804020906 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkfzhMQACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiTCwCgvauRh/hqOK0BEMEPoKXhzCf5 +GkAn0ma+cZy3fas1Y/uQ0Zf8WAqfLo8 =tTlK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
