pg_checksums - Activate/deactivate/verify checksums in offline clusters | ||
======================================================================= | ||
pg_checksums - Activate/deactivate/verify checksums in PostgreSQL clusters | ||
========================================================================== | ||
|
||
`pg_checksums` is a small tool based on the `pg_verify_checksums` program | ||
available in PostgreSQL from version 11 on. In addition to verifying checksums, | ||
it can activate and deactivate them. The former requires all database blocks | ||
to be read and all page headers to be updated, so can take a long time on a | ||
large database. | ||
|
||
The database cluster needs to be shutdown cleanly in order for the program to | ||
operate. | ||
The database cluster needs to be shutdown cleanly in the case of checksum | ||
activation or deactivation, while checksum verification can be performed | ||
online. | ||
|
||
PostgreSQL versions since 9.3 are supported. |
