The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/checksums.html Description:
Hi there, I think that the first sentence of the second paragraph in this page is a little bit misleading. The first paragraph states that checksums are not enabled by default. The first sentence in the second paragraph sounds like it IS enabled by default when using initdb, but you have to pass -k explicitly. As far as I understood, it's a good idea to enable this and that is what the beginning of the second paragraph means. Maybe a sentence like "Checksums should normally be enabled when the cluster is initialized using initdb" instead of "are" - or "It's recommended to enable Checksums when initializing a cluster using initdb". regards Felix
