This thread is for discussions of You Want Salt With That?.

well it's a good piece

Nice piece.  Having previously just used a simple salt to hash with password at client I would like to try using the method 5.

This requires a hash on the server which in my case would be MS-SQL.  I could use an RC4 algorithm I've got knocking around for SQL but I'd rather use MD5 so a question.  How would I implement MD5 hashing of a variable value within T-SQL?

Any help gratefully received.
