willencrypt it for you.<br /><br /> Yeah, but the idea is to encrypt client-side to prevent sending<br /> passwords
overthe wire in cleartext. The can be loaded from a dump<br /> pre-hashed, so why can't we set them that way for a
littleextra<br /> security?<br /><br /> > Your SQL view should show whatever PostgreSQL's pg_dump shows I think.<br
/><br/> Agreed. Normally, I would hope that is a hash...<br /><br /> Regards, Dave<br /><br />
