SHA256
The SHA256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) function is a cryptographic hash function that transforms text input into a 256-bit hash value.
There is no corresponding decryption function for SHA256. Do not use this function to encrypt text that later needs to be decrypted.
This function isn't compatible with all data platform connections. To check if your connection supports it, see Supported data platforms and feature compatibility.
Syntax
SHA256(string)
Function arguments:
string | The text value to be hashed. |
Examples
In this example, you have a table with a User ID column. For privacy and confidentiality reasons, you might want to obfuscate the actual values in this column. You can use the SHA256 function to do so:
SHA256([User ID])
The function returns 256-bit hash values of each User ID.
