Hi,

I have a database which has been set to encoding UTF-8.

I have a table in this database in which i store the details of all the
registered users. I am using PL/PGSQL and using one function i am entering the
values into the database. There is one column for entering the passwords of all
registered users. I want to store these passwords in an encrypted manner in the
table. Can i encrypt the password in the stored procedure and will i not loose
any data by entering the passwords in an encrytped manner.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
