Hi,
Does anyone know the algorithm used in hash partitioning?
>From what I have gathered so far, Oracle will evenly distribute data across
available partitions. Rows are inserted into partitions based on a hash
value of the partitioning key.
Having said that, if I create a hash partitioned table with 4 partitions
based on say dept_no and inserts 10 rows that have the same dept_no, does
Oracle inserts all the records into the same partition since all the rows
hashed into the same hash value or does Oracle distributes the data across
the 4 partitions?
Thanks.
