MySQL get hash value for each row?


Get hash value of each row using MD5() function from MySQL. The syntax is as follows −

SELECT MD5(CONCAT(yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,yourColumnName3,.......N)) as anyVariableName FROM yourTableName;

To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −

mysql> create table getHashValueForEachRow
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   -> Name varchar(20),
   -> Age int,
   -> Marks int,
   -> PRIMARY KEY(Id)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.25 sec)

Insert records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −

mysql> insert into getHashValueForEachRow(Name,Age,Marks) values('Larry',24,89);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)

mysql> insert into getHashValueForEachRow(Name,Age,Marks) values('David',26,98);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)

mysql> insert into getHashValueForEachRow(Name,Age,Marks) values('Bob',21,67);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)

mysql> insert into getHashValueForEachRow(Name,Age,Marks) values('Sam',22,56);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)

mysql> insert into getHashValueForEachRow(Name,Age,Marks) values('Mike',25,80);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.72 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −

mysql> select *from getHashValueForEachRow;

The following is the output −

+----+-------+------+-------+
| Id | Name  | Age  | Marks |
+----+-------+------+-------+
|  1 | Larry |   24 | 89    |
|  2 | David |   26 | 98    |
|  3 | Bob   |   21 | 67    |
|  4 | Sam   |   22 | 56    |
|  5 | Mike 25 | 80 |       |
+----+-------+------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The following is the query to get hash value of each row −

mysql> select md5(concat(Id,Name,Age,Marks)) as HashValueOfEachRow from getHashValueForEachRow;

Here is the output −

+----------------------------------+
| HashValueOfEachRow               |

5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
