the most common feature that any RDBMS provides should be that if we want to store the data in the MSSQL tables then the data should be presented in masked/formatted like for eg.the password text in field should be like "*****". I am using SQL 2000 but i unofrtunately i couldn't find any such feature in defining the data type in SQL server 2000 ...?"

RDBMS is by definition for the efficient storage and retrieval of the data. The masking/formatting of the password data is the feature of front-end and should be handled there.
