BINARY_CHECKSUM is not yielding expected value.
BINARY_CHECKSUM is not yielding expected value.
I have 2 tables with 20 columns in each.
16 of these columns have the same value and 4 do not, yet when I use BINARY_CHECKSUM it gives the same value.
Below is the data table.
Why are the checksum values not unique?
What alternative do I have to using BINARY_CHECKSUM ?
thanks!
