Checksums Added to the System.parts_columns Table

Why it matters

This feature addresses the need for data consistency and integrity by enabling checksum verification on the system.parts_columns table. It helps users detect corruption or unexpected changes in the metadata related to table parts, improving reliability during diagnostics and maintenance.

How to use it

Users can query the system.parts_columns table as usual; checksum columns are automatically calculated and stored with the metadata. No additional configuration is required to benefit from the checksum verification.
