Hi,

I want to get a checksum of a table and in order to do it I was thinking in using the OWA_OPT_LOCK.CHECKSUM function. However this function per se just allow me to get a checksum of a row. How can I use it in a loop to perform a checksum to the entire table? I mean, what keywords can I use to advance to the nex row? Can you give me examples?

Thanks in advance!

CAn you explain why you need this? THere may be anoter way. For example, if you want to know if two tables have identical contents, you can use DBMS_COMPARISON.

Why does this sound suspiciously like this: https://community.oracle.com/message/12934414#12934414
