clear-checksums

clear-checksums clears all checksums and nullifies the MD5SUM column of the DATABASECHANGELOG table so they will be re-computed on the next database update.

changesets that have been deployed will have their checksums re-computed, and pending changesets will be deployed.

Uses

clear-checksums is typically used when there is a [MD5Sum Check Failed] error message and there is a need to clear the checksums from the DATABASECHANGELOG table.
