Hello, I am running postgresql 9.3.5 on Ubuntu14.04.
i have the table two fields of varchar type. while inserting the data in the following way. INSERT INTO testusers(username, phone_no) SELECT pgp_sym_encrypt(test.username, keys.pubkey), pgp_sym_encrypt(test.phone_no, keys.pubkey) As cc FROM (VALUES ('abcd', '9876543210') ) As test(username, cc) CROSS JOIN (SELECT armor('DC35GT67'') As pubkey) As keys; it is encrypting the data. when i say SELECT * FROM testusers; i get these values. username = \xc30d04070302624fc5146ba1304a63d2360165b2c8c7e5d48cea7673c66f0ddb5ecef4eafe146797b70f4df028a257847e9de6b1eccaf974639b27a01fbb5b42e24f14fb17eba5 phone_no = \xc30d0407030284f6b57ae1c2d57369d23701cd705d5c6da32570c3f0ca9aaf2625a5bfbdcb439959674c6c5be879f8c42fd24ac2eba99648b853e6b37977560f52118c9ee7bb0d49 But when i say SELECT pgp_sym_decrypt(phone_no, keys.privkey), pgp_sym_decrypt(username, keys.privkey) As Phonedecrypt FROM testusers CROSS JOIN (SELECT armor('DC35GT67'') As privkey) As keys; i am getting this error ERROR: function pgp_sym_decrypt(character varying, text) does not exist LINE 1: SELECT pgp_sym_decrypt(phone_no, keys.privkey), pgp_sym_decrypt(us... ^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. Can anyone tell me where i am going wrong. and if not then what explicit type casts i have to add.? please help thanks in advance. -- Regards : Venktesh Guttedar.
