Hi,

I am applying the hash function to encrypt a column value exposed through a view. Is there any chance that the user(s) of the view could decipher the hash value and decrypt the column value ?

Thanks,
Venkat

All,

did some good amount of reading on hashing and have settled down with the conclusion that re-genrating the hash value with a trial-and-error method is almost impossible (or) in other words, finding a single match for a given set of rows takes lots and lots of time.
