[Sqlrelay-discussion] Problem with binary data in Oracle VARCHAR2 field using PHP

[Daniel S. <sql...@bo...>]

  

 We've been going back and forth with our IT people about using SQL
Relay for a while now and in trying to convince them we've ported our
implementation of PHP's oci8 pecl extension to sqlrelay.  The port
took 2 days for one guy (included setting up a sqlrelay box) and is
going quite well, but we're having one problem.  We store certain
data, such as passwords, encrypted in the database and we can't seem
to get it to retrieve the data properly.  I'll admit that our
encryption/decryption functionality is somewhat of a blackbox, but we
switch back and forth between the libraries and the only difference
now is sqlrelay vs. oci8 extension.  Has anyone had any experience
with this?  
 Thanks,
