Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Some experience using hash clusters?
Not experience but I did attend a class that Steve Adams taught and in
terms of Lookup tables he indicated that there were some circumstances
where a hash cluster with a primary key index would offer some scope for
performance improvement.
Did you note all the qualifiers in the sentence above=3F His analysis was
based on keeping a single row per hash key in the cluster which gave the
best access path performance. I won't say more as he teaches the class
=66or profit.
On a different note, I have had a number of my preconceptions shattered that were based on statements of the form: For all uses, feature x is a bad idea. Circumstances vary widely. Only accurate analysis suffices to show that in a given set of circumstances feature x does not provide a good match.
In regard to your specific comments below iff you can guarantee that a hash key points to a single row then you have demonstrated that i/o is minimized as you will do a single block read assuming no block chaining due to row length.

Hi list,
some time ago I knew using clusters was not a good idea.
Now I read hash clusters can reduce i/o because no index lookup are
necessary.
Could you please share your experience aobut the use of hash cluster.
Thanks
