ADMIN CHECKSUM TABLE

The ADMIN CHECKSUM TABLE statement calculates a CRC64 checksum for the data and indexes of a table. This statement is used by programs such as TiDB Lightning to ensure that import operations have completed successfully.

Examples

Create table t1:

CREATE TABLE t1(id INT PRIMARY KEY);

Insert some data into t1:

INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1),(2),(3);

Calculate the checksum for t1:

ADMIN CHECKSUM TABLE t1;

The output is as follows:

+---------+------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------+
| Db_name | Table_name | Checksum_crc64_xor   | Total_kvs | Total_bytes |
+---------+------------+----------------------+-----------+-------------+
