what is HASH join?..

Answer / avi007

Hash joins do not use indexes and perform full-table scans
often using parallel query. Hence, the use of hash joins
with parallel full-table scans tend to drive-up CPU
consumption.

what is HASH join?..

Answer / ankush

A hash join is a join optimization method where two tables
are joined based on a hashing algorithm.

Hashing refers to the conversion of a column's primary key
value to a database page number on which the row will be
stored. Retrieval operations that specify the key column
value use the same hashing algorithm and can locate the row
directly. Hashing provides fast retrieval for data that
contains a unique key value.

Note that a hash value cannot be converted back to the
original value.
