blake3

Uses the BLAKE3 digest algorithm to hash a string into a 256-bit hexadecimal string.

BLAKE3 is a modern cryptographic hash function that is significantly faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, while providing strong security guarantees. It produces a 256-bit (32-byte) digest.

Syntax

BLAKE3(str);

Parameters

str: the string to hash. It must be of the VARCHAR type.

Return value

Returns a value of the VARCHAR type. If the input is NULL, NULL is returned. An empty input string returns the BLAKE3 digest of the zero-length message (af1349b9f5f9a1a6a0404dea36dcc9499bcb25c9adc112b7cc9a93cae41f3262).

This function accepts only one string. More than one input string causes an error.

Examples
