MD5

Calculates the MD5 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(16).

If you do not need MD5 in particular, but you need a decent cryptographic 128-bit hash, use the [sipHash128] function instead.

If you want to get the same result as output by the md5sum utility, use lower(hex(MD5(s))).

Syntax

select MD5(string)

Arguments

  • string – A string

Returned value

  • The Value of MD5.

Type: FixedString(16)

Example

select MD5('test the MD5 function')

Result:

┌─MD5('test the MD5 function')─┐
│ ो?N?iq@?5G?:a               │
└──────────────────────────────┘

SHA1

Calculates SHA-1, SHA-224, or SHA-256 from a string and returns the resulting set of bytes as FixedString(20), FixedString(28), or FixedString(32).

The function works fairly slowly (SHA-1 processes about 5 million short strings per second per processor core, while SHA-224 and SHA-256 process about 2.2 million).

We recommend using this function only in cases when you need a specific hash function and you can’t select it.

Even in these cases, we recommend applying the function offline and pre-calculating values when inserting them into the table, instead of applying it in SELECTS.

Syntax

SHA1(string)

Arguments

  • string – A string.

Returned value

  • SHA-1 Encrypted string in FixedString(20).

Type: FixedString(20)

Example

SELECT base64Encode(toString(SHA1('SAH1 test')))

Result:

┌─base64Encode(toString(SHA1('SAH1 test')))─┐
│ x5bDmJsgE+YzTir1+BPt4S98AEc=              │
└───────────────────────────────────────────┘
