Perform checksum based on the source table data

  • Hello All,

    I'm trying to load data from old SQL server 2000 to new SQL server 2014. I need to do a checksum to check if all the source data is loaded in the target database(SQL server 2014). I've created the insert statement for the same which works. I need to use checksum to make sure all the source rows are loaded in the target table. Can somebody help me with this process? I haven't done checksum before.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Here is my insert statement:

    INSERT INTO [Test].[dbo].[Order_tab]

    ([rec_id]

    ,[date_loaded]

    ,[Name1]

    ,[Name2]

    ,[Address1]

    ,[Address2]

    ,[City]

    ,[State]

    ,[Zipcode]

    ,[e_Name1])

    SELECT s.[rec_id]

    ,s.[date_loaded]

    ,s.[Name1]

    ,s.[Name2]

    ,s.[Address1]

    ,s.[Address2]

    ,s.[City]

    ,s.[State]

    ,s.[Zipcode]

    ,ENCRYPTBYKEY(key_guid('EncryptionKey'),s.[Name1])

    FROM [LinkedServer].[SourceTest].[dbo].[Order_tab] s

    left join [Test].[dbo].[Order_tab] d on d.rec_id= s.rec_id

    where d.rec_id IS NULL

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Can't help but wonder why you want to use CHECKSUM... perhaps the combination of Linked Server and ENCRYPTION is going to cause this INSERT to take a while? Are there any other constraints? Also, I noticed that you are inserting a Name field as well as inserting it Encrypted. Not sure why you would do that unless you are planning on some form of column security on the unencrypted one. In any case, CHECKSUM_AGG() appears to be what you need, or possibly just CHECKSUM(), but the latter only operates at the row level. What do you hope CHECKSUM will do for you?
