md5 is _always_ exactly 128 bits. It's frequently represented as a 32 character hex string, but that's just a friendly way to display it. If you use a bytea field (for example) you can lock it in at 128 bits. That will help overall by only taking up 20 bytes instead of 36 bytes for the text string representation, but you have the 4-byte length header either way. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 412-422-3463x4023 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
