MySQL and MariaDB - Overview of the Encryption, Compression and Hashing Functions
MySQL and MariaDB provides a set of encryption and compression functions that can be used to encrypt or compress data in SQL queries, and various hashing functions, which are primarily used to securely store passwords or generate hash values for data. Encryption and compression functions can be useful for securing sensitive data and reducing storage requirements for large data sets. However, it is important to use them properly and to ensure that the encrypted or compressed data can be securely transmitted and stored.
