HASHTYPE_TIGER

Purpose

This function computes a hash value by using the tiger algorithm (192 Bit).

Syntax

hashtype_tiger::=

HASHTYPE_TIGER

Usage Notes

  • Return values have data type HASHTYPE(24 byte).
  • The data types of the input parameters are significant. That is why HASHTYPE_TIGER(123) is different to HASHTYPE_TIGER('123').
  • Multiple input expressions are concatenated (in their internal byte representation) before the hash value is computed.

    • HASHTYPE_TIGER(c1,c2) is not similar to HASHTYPE_TIGER(c1||c2).

  • The function returns NULL if all input expressions are NULL.

Example

SELECT HASHTYPE_TIGER('abc');
