Provide one-way or cryptographic hash functions ----------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-4532 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-4532 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Query Engine Affects Versions: 9.2 Reporter: Van Halbert Assignee: Steven Hawkins Fix For: 9.2, 8.12.15.6_4 Provide one-way or [cryptographic hash functions|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3#Comparison_of_SHA_functions], such as any of the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, or SHA-3 functions, so that views can define columns that are hashes of other columns. The goal is to allow views to hide some columns (e.g., personally identifying information), but to expose a new "primary key" that is a hash of other existing columns. So, given this source table: {code:sql} CREATE TABLE person ( id INT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL, age INT, height INT, weight DOUBLE ); {code} a view could be created to hide the personally identifying information: {code:sql} CREATE VIEW anonymousPerson () id VARCHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY, age INT, height INT, weight DOUBLE ) AS SELECT sha256(p.id, p.name) AS id, p.age AS age, p.height AS height, p.weight AS weight FROM person AS p; {code}
