functionfor this purpose. For instance, you could insert a password into the table with a statement like:<br /><br
/><blockquote>insertinto auth_data (user_id, password) values (1, md5('test'));<br /></blockquote><br /> And compare
thesupplied password with something like:<br /><br /><blockquote>select true from auth_data where user_id = 1 and
password= md5('test');<br /></blockquote><br /> You don't need to depend on an external library for this functionality;
it'sbuilt right into Postgres. Personally, in my own apps I write in PHP, I  use a combination of sha1 and md5 to hash
userpasswords, without depending on Postgres to do the hashing, but the effect is basically the same.<br /><br />
