+ Use checksums on data pages to help detect corruption by the
+ I/O system that would otherwise be silent. Enabling checksums
+ may incur a noticeable performance penalty. This option can only
+ be set during initialization, and cannot be changed later. If
+ set, checksums are calculated for all objects, in all databases.
