Hi,
If you need information regarding partition out guide gives more information.
If this partition is selected for a key, hashing algorigthm is aplied over that particular column. (You can find hasing algorighm in net.
one sample link...
http://www.partow.net/programming/hashf ... sOfHashing)
The record set are seperated based on the result of the hashing and sent to individual partition. so a bunch of record with a same type flows in to a partiton. So it is recomended to use this partition at place where join/merge or key based operatin.

regards
kumar

Hash partitioning (or a hybrid, such as range-hash partitioning) is found in some database products. It is this you are asking about, or DataStage parallel jobs?

What do you understand by the term "hashing"?

Hi,
Seems I misunderstood and you need an Idea on partitioning of hash files in server jobs.
Are you refering to distributed hash files?
