Even if saving database space is a concern, you could store a truncated password hash.

If you don't use the full hash, I believe you can't really make any guarantees about the variance and distribution of characters in the hash. So not sure that's such a good idea.

If you'll go as far as saving a truncated hash, it's better to just save the whole thing. I don't see any good reasons not to.
