# Compute The md5 Hash Of A String
|
||||
|
||||
One of the functions provided by PostgreSQL for working with string data is
|
||||
the `md5()` function. This function calculates the md5 hash of a given string.
|
||||
|
||||
It works like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
> select md5('Hello, World!');
|
||||
md5
|
||||
----------------------------------

|
||||
|
||||
> select md5('$3cr3tp4$$w0rd');
|
||||
md5
|
||||
----------------------------------

||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are more hashing algorithms provided by the `pgcrypto` extension. See
|
||||
[Compute Hashes With pgcrypto](postgres/compute-hashes-with-pgcrypto.md) for
|
||||
more details on that.
