Ok, thank you
using \df *hash* from psql prompt
I can see that is how I have to access this function
select pg_catalog.hashtext('myusername')
I will also play with other suggestions of get_byte
of the MD5 result casted to a string.
thanks again for all the replies,
Vlad

I first tried md5 but the number it returns is very big and cannot

there is likely a way to simply add ascii values of the userId together

I would like to have a function
given a user id varchar(64) to get a hash number between 0 and 255.
