hi,
 
i  dont remember if someone already asked this but here goes.
i have a users table in my database that i will use to control the access of information on my site. its really simple, i have  the following:
 
tusers(username text, password text, accesslevel int)
 
what id like to know is if there is a way of storing these passwords as nonplain text or in an encrypted form. i know mysql has an internal function/datatype that when specified, it encrypts the values given.  is there anything like this in postgresql 8.0.1?
if not, any sugestions on how to store these passwords?
 
thanx.
