sha2

Calculate the SHA-224 hash value, SHA-256 hash value, SHA-384 hash value, and SHA-512 hash value of a string.

Syntax

VARCHAR sha2(VARCHAR expr, INT hash_length)

Parameters

Expr: the string whose value you want to calculate.
hash_length: the length of a hash value. The value of this parameter can be 224, 256, 384, 512, or 0. The value 0 is equivalent to 256. If you set this parameter to any other value, this function returns NULL.

Return value

Returns the hash value. When one of values of the previous two parameters is Null, the returned value is Null.
