can anyone provide a management freindly low tech summary of what the risks are in not using CHECKSUM and using torn page detection for &quot;page verifacation&quot;.<br />
<br />
What exactly is &quot;page verifacation&quot;.<br />
<br />
And what exactly are either checking/detecting for? Why is one considered better than the other?<br />
<br />
Some of the links I have read have confused me even further so some comments much more preferable.
