varbinary to varchar w/o master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr

问题

Is there any way to convert varbinary to ASCII varchar string (base64, md5, sha1 - no matter) without master.dbo.fn_varbintohexstr function on MS SQL Server 2005? Because it can't be used inside of computed column.

CONVERT and CAST return non-ASCII strings.

Thank you,

Denis.

For md5 and sha1 you can use hashbytes. To get base64 you can create a udf that does the conversion and use that in your computed column.

Function BinToBase64:

create function BinToBase64(@Bin varbinary(max)) returns varchar(max) as
begin
  return CAST(N'' AS XML).value('xs:base64Binary(xs:hexBinary(sql:variable("@Bin")))', 'VARCHAR(MAX)')
end

Function BinToHexString:

create function BinToHexString(@Bin varbinary(max)) returns varchar(max) as
begin
  return '0x' + cast('' as xml).value('xs:hexBinary(sql:variable("@Bin") )', 'varchar(max)'); 
end

Use like this:

create table TestTable 
(
  Col1 varbinary(max), 
  Col2 as dbo.BinToHexString(hashbytes('MD5', Col1)),
  Col3 as dbo.BinToHexString(hashbytes('SHA1', Col1)),
  Col4 as dbo.BinToBase64(Col1),
)
insert into TestTable values (12345)

select *
from TestTable

Unique constraint varbinary column using hashbytes and an uniqueidentifier column

create table TestTable 
(
  ID uniqueidentifier default(newid()),
  Col1 varbinary(max), 
  Col2 as coalesce(hashbytes('MD5', Col1), cast(ID as varbinary(8000))) persisted
)

create unique index IX_TestTable_Col2 on TestTable(Col2)
