I need to do a simple query and output to a file.
No problem.
But how do I encrypt one column's output?
There are lots of developer related links here, and info to "use
the /contrib pgcrypto", but I'm not a PG developer and I failed to
find any info on HOW TO USE that library function...

Have you installed the pgcrypto module?
Have you read the guide to pgcrypto in the manual?

I'm still too dense to get it. I'm sorry.
* Where would I look to see if it is installed?
(I'm not the SA who did the install, nor do I have those privs.)
* If not, must he go the source install route, (we're using Ubuntu),
or via synaptic package installer (for PG v8.2)?
If it is there, I'm still too much a newbie to find the text to tell
me how to use it.
I don't want to be totally hand held, but I need to find the HOW-TO
guide(s).
* What I want to do (right now) is simply encode usernames onto a
hard copy.
* What I will want to do in the future is to encode usernames INTO
the DB.
Thanks again,
