pg_verify_checksums
A server utility for verifying checksums in PostgreSQL 11
This entry relates to a PostgreSQL feature which is deprecated and may be desupported in future releases.
pg_verify_checksums
is a server utility which verifies data page checksums in a PostgreSQL 11 cluster.
pg_verify_checksums
was added in PostgreSQL 11 and was replaced in PostgreSQL 12 by the more versatile pg_checksums
.
Although data page checksums were introduced in PostgreSQL 9.3, previously no practical method existed for proactively verifying an entire database cluster. pg_verify_checksums
provides a means of doing this. Note that it requires that the server is shut down cleanly.
