I need shorter values (because they should be easier to type.
To be sure to modify the function in a sensible way I really would
appreciate some pointer.
Still if it return
To further shrink the length of the result I was planning to to_hex
(actually it would be nice to have a fast to_35base [0-9a-z])... but
I wasn't able to find a way to convert back an hex string to an int.
x'fff' seems to work just for literals.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pseudo_encrypt(value int) returns
bigint AS $$
