I need to generate MD5 password from provided informations. Following is my MySQL database table;

sN | firstN | lastN   | countryN | dob        | emailID            | joinD      | uID     | passwd   |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generated password should be like this:

<first two characters from lastN> + <dob month> + <dob day> + <last two digit from uID> + "=$"

In this case;

Password : "Fe080889=$"
Encrypted Password : "d76c30608603f7bf0a07abb03c6a631f"

Please somebody help me with this. How do I do it using bash script or is there any way to do it itself in MySQL?

    You can do this in MySQL (depending on your version). It has built-in encryption/checksum functions:

    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/encryption-functions.html#function_md5

    Just use a combination of substring and date-parsing functions to concatenate the pieces of the fields you need, and pass the string through MD5().

    Roughly:

    SELECT MD5(CONCAT(LEFT(lastN, 2), MONTH(dob), DAY(dob), RIGHT(CAST(uID, CHAR), 2), '=$'))
FROM Table
