I would just like to know if it is or is not possible to use t-SQL (SQL Server 2012) to store a MD5 hash using HASHBYTES for a file not in the database?
I am only trying to achieve what is stated above without using anything other then T-SQL. That is the constraint weather or not there is a better way. It's a inflexible constraint/mandate that nothing but T-SQL is to be used. No addons no powrshell no nothing but T-SQL.
Can anyone provide the T-SQL code that would achieve the goal of putting the hash of some file (whatever name you want) into a field in a table (use whatever names you prefer)?
I know some might think there is a better way but that better way is not an option like it or not. So please refrain for offering any non 100% T-SQL solutions or comments.
