I would also prefer to simply add sha1(bytea/text) => bytea, but the existing md5 function is md5(bytea/text) => test, so either the new functions would be inconsistent, or we make the new functions broken like the old one, or we invent a different naming system, such as digest(). -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
