    Thanks a lot GSquared....

    From what I got is

    I will have to add checksum column for each column that may change ...

    Source as well as Target...

    --edit

    You need only a single checksum per row, based on all the columns whose values you are tracking for changes, eg

    select checksum('A','B','Z')

    34391

    That's how you get the speed benefit - you need only compare two columns (PK and checksum) when looking for changes, rather than all columns.

    Note also Gus' comments about Checksum and Binary_Checksum
