>From the user guide:
"Hash is a storage method that makes finding data in large files faster. The
hash datatype is useful for converting data into a binary table format that
is readily searchable. " Cool.
and:
"Hash values are identical in operation to block values. See blocks values
for detail on the format of block values. " Excellent.
Umm..,
but the examples there seem counter-intuitive to me (probably because I have
way too much experience in relation databases).
So can someone show me how and when hash! is most optimally used please?
