Re: Why not use password to an application ?
Hi,
I believe you are talking about using the password() function in your application. As you have stated that isn't recommended. The reason it isn't is due to the fact that the password() function can change in releases. It has done so twice in recent history, once in MySQL 4.1 and before in MySQL 3.23. So your application would break when upgrading if you used that function. If you use something well defined, such as MD5(), then it won't change between releases.
