A link it is:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/tsqlref9/html/e26d3339-845c-49c2-9d89-243376874c13.htm
or if the link fails (it refers to BOL - Books On Line - your trusty manual for SQL Server)
download and install BOL from here
and then look up 'CHECKSUM function' and 'CHECKSUM_AGG function'.

Ken... the OP actually wants to know what the algorithym is for the CheckSum function.

Oh really? Must have missed that.. I read it as a question of what checksum was used for.. 😉
Anyways, what use would anyone have on how MS have implemented these functions?
Much better imo to find out how they work and how they behave.
The algorithm behind it isn't of any use to anyone of us, what we need is what does these functions guarantee us, and what not, should we use and depend on them.
Or am I missing something?
Anyways, that is written in BOL.

Sorry, previous knowledge... he's asked for it before on a different thread.
