Hey Folks

 

I'm having a tough time finding any information in the available
documentation about this feature.  Does anyone out there have a bit of
insight as to what exactly it does. 

 

Docs says MySQL will store a checksum for each row if this is 'on'  - that's
about all I can find. 

 

Some general questions are:

 

Where is it stored?

Is it assessable?

How is the checksum verified  between two databases - e.g., in a
master/slave environment?

Which technology is used (MD5 etc.)?

 

An even more general is, what would be a scenario in which I would use this
feature?  I'm thinking it would be nice to verify data traveling across a
client server environment....but I may be wrong.....

 

Any insight?

 

Thanks

Mike
