I really don't have the pgcrypto. It could be a nice alternative. Could you
tell me the steps to install it ?
I am very concerned about security in my application becouse we are going to
moviment a large ammount of information and money. As much i take care of it
as good.
I know some problem of MD5 and know it is very good too. If someone could
tell me where MD5 is used I could be more relaxed.
My best regards to all

You are probably looking for the pgcrypto contribution, look in the
contrib directory for it.
test=# select encode(digest('blahblah', 'sha256'), 'hex');
encode
