RE: Flat file generation integrity ideas...DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT has an (undocumented) function called MD5 which uses that protocol (MD5) to calculate checksums. Look at $OH/rdbms/admin/dbmsobtk.sql...

you could also use dbms_utility.get_hash_value ... to compute hash value for the whole row and store that as an additional column. Be syre to use the same parameters on both sides to compute and test, else it will fail the check.
