As we all know, BINARY_CHECKSUM ignores columns of data type IMAGE.This code is 100% compatible with MS original. That is, the result is identical.You can use it "as is", or you can use it to see that MS function does not produce that unique values one could expect.

I have some data in a SQL Server 2025 database. It looks like this for the dbo.Customer table:
CustomerID CustomerName PreferredName 1 Steve Steve 2 Andy Andy 3 Brian Brian 4 Allan Allan 5 Devin Devin 6 Steve Steve 7 Sally SallyI want to detect which names have a single trailing space. The CustomerName is a varchar() and the PreferredName is a CHAR(). Does this query detect the problem rows?
