    <p>If you really want to salt randomly than it can be done only by generating the random salt with php and encrypting the password with that salt and storing both salt key and password in two fields of the table. Table must have salt field and password field. However if you just want to use mysql to do encryption than have a look in here <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en//encryption-functions.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en//encryption-functions.html</a></p> <p>When we validate a user's login credentials we follow the same process, only this time we use the salt from our database instead of generating a new random one. We add the user supplied password to it, run our hashing algorithm, then compare the result with the hash stored in that user's profile.</p> <h1>The links below may give you some more ideas.</h1> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7270526/how-do-you-securely-store-a-users-password-and-salt-in-mysql">How do you securely store a user&#39;s password and salt in MySQL?</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219899/where-do-you-store-your-salt-strings">Where do you store your salt strings?</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3740443/how-insecure-is-a-salted-sha1-compared-to-a-salted-sha512">How insecure is a salted SHA1 compared to a salted SHA512</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1645161/salt-generation-and-open-source-software/1645190#1645190">Salt Generation and open source software</a></p> <p>I hope you got the idea now.</p>

    1. CO-1. `PASSWORD` is *encryption*, and passwords should always be hashed. The docs even explicitly state that this function should NOT be used in other applications. And passwords must be salted. There is *absolutely* a need to salt passwords, and the salt must not be hard-coded or constant. A hardcoded salt value is a useless salt value.

    2. CO@AdamRobinson I do agree that passwords have to be hashed when storing and I didn't realize the issue with PASSWORD() encryption in mysql until now. Thanks for highlighting that. I have revised the answer. I hope you can vote up. :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
