Improve query performance. If you wa photo editing servies nt to learn more about database indexing basics check out Part One. Hash table supports the data structure of hash index Hash index uses the hash table data structure. A hash table also known as a hash map is an excellent data structure that can generate data in almost constant time Quickly retrieve data within. This means that record retrieval time is not affected by the size of the search data. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of representation check out What is representation. The hash index consists of buckets or slots into which tuples are placed. Use a hash function to calculate a hash key or hash code when storing a value into an index. A hash key maps a value to a bit integer. The hash code maps to the bucket number where the value will be stored. A hash function maps data of any size to a fixed-size value.
Hash code The output of the key hash function. When a record is retrieved using a hash index the database applies a hash function to the value to determine the buckets that may contain the value. Once the bucket is determined the database will search the tuples to find records that match your query. If you are interested in understanding the hash index implementation you can read further here. When using hash indexes you will notice an improvement in response times. In my case the response time in the screenshot below has dropped to approximately milliseconds. Congratulations, you have learned how to use hash indexes to reduce the response time of database queries.
