2006-04-10 Thread Randall Lucas
I'm looking for a way to calculate a hashcode or fingerprint for a row / tuple of arbitrary width. The goal is to be able to store, in an audit table, a fingerprint which could be compared against a later fingerprint to detect changes (this application does not call for cryptographic level
