I've been researching the best method to store credit card numbers in a database which are saved encrypted. My version of mysql is 3.23 therefore I think the only function I could use is

ENCODE() and DECODE().

I've tried these functions and they appear to work as I want. I've a couple of questions though, can I use varchar when saving the data and are these functions suitable for my requirements ?

Thanks,
Neil
