I do the same thing (although not with a MySQL database) and I anticipated
problems in storing the binary hash, so I chose to perform a simple Base64
encoding of the hash result first. So I end up storing 28-character strings
in the database, like this:
v5szlQNp+vVs1xUZqdYPTe9sgzU=
I find this technique works very well and the code to perform the Base64
encode/decode is straightforward and easily found on the web.
