Alan points out that an unsalted MD5 hash can be cracked within seconds when he tries Cracking MySQL's MD5() function really works that fast…

Interesting to find out that there seems to be a web service some where (I haven't seen the URL) where you simply submit the MD5 to be cracked and it returns the clear text password when it's cracked … :-)

That website is http://www.passcracking.com/

Found your blog via a google search for mysql md5 -- was looking for documentation. Probably should've just gone to mysql.com :p
