Trying to find a documentation which will make me understand how to secure a
password column. I want the encryption to be one way and it should not be
decrypted.

I am able to find discrete documents but nothing of them gets me there.

Please help.

I'd give more specific URL with examples of SELECT and UPDATE:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/pgcrypto.html#AEN170716

... but recommend to change just "gen_salt('md5')" to "gen_salt('bf', 8))"
