Important

New database features are no longer connected to engine versions; features are now enabled independently during scheduled update windows, and “major” and “minor” releases no longer exist in Helios. Please visit the release notes to view the latest features available in your database clusters.

SHA2

On this page

The SHA2() function hashes the given string or binary data using the secure hash algorithm, version 2. As of this writing (early 2015), SHA2 is considered secure for generating collision-resistant hashes.

Syntax

SHA2 ( plaintext, bitlen )

Arguments

  • plaintext: the data to hash.

  • bitlen: the size of the hash to create. Currently SingleStore Helios supports only the values 256, 384, 512, and 0 (equivalent to 256).

Return Type

Lower case hexadecimal digits corresponding to the binary hash value.

Examples

SELECT SHA2('ohai', 0);

    • Option 3: Run the following command to download the signature file.

      curl -O undefined

  3. After the signature file has been downloaded, run the following command to verify the authenticity of the SingleStore file.

    echo -n undefined |
        cosign verify-blob --certificate-oidc-issuer https://oidc.eks.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/id/CCDCDBA1379A5596AB5B2E46DCA385BC \
          --certificate-identity https://kubernetes.io/namespaces/freya-production/serviceaccounts/job-worker \
