Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Hash join not being used
Have the number of rows changed significantly in any of the tables in
relation to the others? I believe hash joins are only selected
automatically by the optimizer when you are joining between two tables that
have about the same number of rows, or both sides of the join have the same
number of rows (If histograms are used).
