SHA1
Hashes the given string or binary data using the so-called secure hash algorithm, version 1. SHA1 has been deprecated as a means of securely signing data.
It is present in SingleStoreDB mainly for backwards compatibility and for systems which require a “good enough” hashing function and can tolerate collisions. For a more secure hash function, see [SHA2].
Syntax
SHA1(plaintext) SHA(plaintext)
Arguments
plaintext: the data to hash.
Return Type
40 lower case hexadecimal digits corresponding to the 160-bit binary hash value.
Examples
SELECT SHA1('ohai'), SHA('ohai');
