Hi all,

I'm trying to create a type password; the goal is to have a table like:

CREATE TABLE test (
username varchar,
pass passwd);

insert into test values ('me','secret');

and have "secret" being automagicly crypted.

What I want is to mimic the PASSWORD function of mysql but much better,
not having to call a function.

I just can't figure how to write the xx_crypt(opaque) returns opaque
function.

Any help available???

TIA

Yes. Send me your code as a function that runs in a.out, I will
convert it. You will get in a form suitable for use as a contrib. You
will then be on your own. I'll do it in a split-second, but give me a
day or two to respond; I am moving and can't read my mail often enough.
