Password (str) vs. MD5 (str)

2004-12-06 Thread lbochicc
does anyone know what type of encryption is used in the PASSWORD(str) function? When would you use the MD5 vs the PASSWORD function? We have a campus standard to use the MD5 encryption so I need to confirm if the PASSWORD function will offer that or not. Thanks, Lauren -- MySQL General
