When I run "mysql> CHECKSUM TABLE mytable;", I got the following result:
+------------------+------------+
| Table | Checksum |
+------------------+------------+
| mydb.mytable | 1679935596 |
+------------------+------------+
How to select and return only the Checksum (not Table) in the above result in one mysql statement?
Something like "SELECT Checksum FROM (CHECKSUM TABLE mytable);"??? Tried several times, but no idea.
What I want is:
+------------+
| Checksum |
+------------+
| 1679935596 |
+------------+

You can do it by column, or sum of columns. Below is a test on a table of mine.
SELECT sum(crc32(email)) as crc from users;
+-------------+
| crc |
+-------------+
| 10679459550 |
+-------------+
select sum(crc32(concat(user_id,first_name,last_name,email,reportingManager))) as crc from users;
+------------+
| crc |
+------------+
| 7196315383 |
+------------+
Edit
In a stored procedure being passed a database name and a table name, the below will return the crc. It goes to the special INFORMATION_SCHEMA db to retrieve the column names for you, and uses all those columns and values to generate a checksum.
Stored procedure:
drop procedure if exists getTableCRC32;
DELIMITER $$
create procedure getTableCRC32
( dbname varchar(80),
tableName varchar(80)
)
BEGIN
set @sql1="select GROUP_CONCAT(`column_name` SEPARATOR ',') into @colNames";
set @sql1=concat(@sql1," FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`COLUMNS`");
set @sql1=concat(@sql1," WHERE `TABLE_SCHEMA`='",dbName,"'");
set @sql1=concat(@sql1," AND `TABLE_NAME`='",tableName,"'");
-- select @sql1;
PREPARE stmt1 FROM @sql1;
EXECUTE stmt1;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;
-- select @colNames;
set @sql2=concat( 'select sum(crc32(concat(', @colNames, '))) as crc from ',tableName);
-- select @sql2;
PREPARE stmt2 FROM @sql2;
EXECUTE stmt2;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt2;
END
$$
DELIMITER ;
Test it:
call getTableCRC32('so_gibberish','users');
+------------+
| crc |
+------------+
| 7196315383 |
+------------+
call getTableCRC32('so_gibberish','fish');
+------------+
| crc |
+------------+
| 3273020843 |
+------------+
