Description
Hi,
Good day!
I'm currently developing a counterpart script in Snowflake for SQL Server's BINARY_CHECKSUM. Could you please explain how the BINARY_CHECKSUM() function works? Are there any internal functions involved? Additionally, is it possible to use a mathematical formula as an alternative to BINARY_CHECKSUM?
Thank you.
