Passwords and md5

Just a simple question. What is the SQL to take a password and put it into md5 format when it saves it into the database?

And what is the SQL to get it back and compare the passwords?

RE: Passwords and md5

php Code:

Original - php Code
INSERT INTO tbl_name (passwd) VALUES (MD5('passwd'));

 
INSERT INTO tbl_name (passwd) VALUES (MD5('passwd'));

MD5 encryption is one-way only and thus you cannot de-MD5 the string. The only way to compare the strings is to run md5() on the password you want to check and compare it against the encrypted string in the database.
