FYI, I heard that 7.4 has a md5 function on board, so you wouldn't
have to depend on the php function. A better choice IMO. This way you
can change your interface to another script language and still have
the functionality.
As to the length: why not simply make it varchar and let pg handle the
storage? IIRC there is no difference between 2 filled varchar(10)
fields and 2 filled varchar fields.
