Md5.rednoize.com has been updated yesterday. The web site features a new design and has gained support for sha1 hashes. The interface has been ajaxified and the amount of hashes stored in the database has been increased again. The database stores now about 35,000,000 md5/sha1 hashes with their plain text counterpart. And md5.rednoize.com got a new logo as well ;)

When using a uniqie index on a text field in mysql, the column collation setting is very important. The collation settings of a column does not only affect sorting and comparsion, but also unique indexes. So you can not insert “a” and “A” into a table that has a unique index on a column that has a case-insensitive collation.
