Re^2: Verifying 2 databases are in sync with brute force

[perlfan]

I like the aggregation idea. If you had a table with an entry for all other tables (perhaps, even itself) and it contained a checksum of some aggregate of the respective tables, you could be reasonable sure that the databases were in sync. The updating of the checksum table should be an ongoing process to minimize checksumming each entire table each time.
