Thread: CRC protection of data?

Hi,

Is there any built-in support in Postgresql to calculate and verify a
checksum of the data read to and from the disc?
I found some posts regarding this that said there was some code
developed. But I can't see if this is in any release of pg.

No.  It's been looked at; the costs would be far out of proportion
to the benefits.
