Hello, I wonder if somebody knows how to store passwords in a
column that is part of a user defined table.
Assuming that your passwords are application specific use
a sha1 or md5 algorithm (depending on how sensitive your data is)
and store that in a varchar or char field. When the user authenticates
the password gets hashed in the app and compared against the
stored hash.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
