I've tried it on three different databases (of two different versions) as three different users and the result is always the same (as it should be): select USER, md5('password') current_user md5 bigdbuser 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 current_user md5 bigdbsys 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 current_user md5 logstocksys 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 Show us some statements. >>> "Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2007-03-01 16:02 >>> Just another thing.
Why md5 function return a different string from user role of postgresql ? It allways put an md5 string concated with another sequence of string. Why does it occurs ?
