I saw a ‘confirm_code’ column in a db table, and property of the column is varchar(100),
can you guys give me idea of a nice algo for a confirmation code ? Basically, it should consist of a random characters. The simplest things in my mind is just encrypting a string through md5 or sha1 but it won’t fit because of the current column property.
An md5 hash should easily fit in a varchar(100)… in hex form an MD5 hash is typically 32 characters long.
