If your database does ZFS-like checksumming on all of its data, including the structures that it uses to find the data that you put in, and has the ability to correct errors, then no.

Realistically though, I don't know if MySQL has this. You'd probably be better off using a filesystem that gives these kind of guarantees and running your database on that.

Every ACID compliant database is supposed to calculate checksums.

Good to know.
