Hi,
I look for a way to reproduce the encrypted string stored as a password by means other than using the CREATE ROLE
command.
When using CREATE ROLE........PASSWORD 'somepass' the resulting string for rolpassword in pg_authid always starts with
md5,suggesting it would create some md5 string. So I thought to use SELECT md5('somepass') to get the same.
But the two strings differ. Is there a function that does that outside the create role context?
Thanks
Alex
