循序漸進講解Oracle數據庫的Hash join
Oracle Hash join 是一種非常高效的join 算法，主要以CPU（hash計算）和內存空間（創建hash table）為代價獲得最大的效率。Hash join一般用于大表和小表之間的連接，我們將小表構建到內存中，稱為Hash cluster，大表稱為probe表。
效率
Hash join具有較高效率的兩個原因：
1.Hash 查詢，根據映射關系來查詢值，不需要遍歷整個數據結構。
2.Mem 訪問速度是Disk的萬倍以上。
理想化的Hash join的效率是接近對大表的單表選擇掃描的。
首先我們來比較一下，幾種join之間的效率，首先 optimizer會自動選擇使用hash join。
注意到Cost= 221
SQL> select * from vendition t,customer b WHERE t.customerid = b.customerid;
100000 rows selected.
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 3402771356
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 106K| 22M| 221 (3)| 00:00:03 |
|* 1 | HASH JOIN | | 106K| 22M| 221 (3)| 00:00:03 |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| CUSTOMER | 5000 | 424K| 9 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| VENDITION | 106K| 14M| 210 (2)| 00:00:03 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
不使用hash，這時optimizer自動選擇了merge join。。
注意到Cost=3507大大的增加了。
SQL> select /*+ USE_MERGE (t b) */* from vendition t,customer b WHERE t.customerid = b.customerid;
100000 rows selected.
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 1076153206
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost (%CPU)| Time
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 106K| 22M| | 3507 (1)| 00:00:43 |
| 1 | MERGE JOIN | | 106K| 22M| | 3507 (1)| 00:00:43 |
| 2 | SORT JOIN | | 5000 | 424K| | 10 (10)| 00:00:01 |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| CUSTOMER | 5000 | 424K| | 9 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 4 | SORT JOIN | | 106K| 14M| 31M| 3496 (1)| 00:00:42 |
| 5 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| VENDITION | 106K| 14M| | 210 (2)| 00:00:03 |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
那么Nest loop呢，經過漫長的等待后，發現Cost達到了驚人的828K，同時伴隨3814337 consistent gets（由于沒有建索引），可見在這個測試中，Nest loop是最低效的。在給customerid建立唯一索引后，減低到106K，但仍然是內存join的上千倍。
SQL> select /*+ USE_NL(t b) */* from vendition t,customer b WHERE t.customerid = b.customerid;
100000 rows selected.
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 2015764663

|* 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| CUSTOMER | 1 | 87 | 8 (0)| 00:00:01 |
HASH的內部
HASH_AREA_SIZE在Oracle 9i 和以前，都是影響hash join性能的一個重要的參數。但是在10g發生了一些變化。Oracle不建議使用這個參數，除非你是在MTS模式下。Oracle建議采用自動PGA管理（設置PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET和WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY）來，替代使用這個參數。由于我的測試環境是mts環境，自動內存管理，所以我在這里只討論mts下的hash join。
Mts的PGA中，只包含了一些棧空間信息，UGA則包含在large pool中，那么實際類似hash，sort，merge等操作都是有large pool來分配空間，large pool同時也是auto管理的，它和SGA_TARGET有關。所以在這種條件下，內存的分配是很靈活。
Hash連接根據內存分配的大小，可以有三種不同的效果：
1.optimal 內存完全足夠
2.onepass 內存不能裝載完小表
3.multipass workarea executions 內存嚴重不足
下面，分別測試小表為50行，500行和5000行，內存的分配情況（內存都能完全轉載）。
Vendition表 10W條記錄
Customer表 5000
Customer_small 500，去Customer表前500行建立
Customer_pity 50，取Customer表前50行建立
表的統計信息如下：
SQL> SELECT s.table_name,S.BLOCKS,S.AVG_SPACE,S.NUM_ROWS,S.AVG_ROW_LEN,S.EMPTY_BLOCKS FROM user_tables S WHERE table_name IN ('CUSTOMER','VENDITION','CUSTOMER_SMALL','CUSTOMER_PITY') ;
TABLE_NAME BLOCKS AVG_SPACE NUM_ROWS AVG_ROW_LEN EMPTY_BLOCKS
CUSTOMER 35 1167 5000 38 5
CUSTOMER_PITY 4 6096 50 37 4
CUSTOMER_SMALL 6 1719 500 36 2
VENDITION 936 1021 100000 64 88打開10104事件追蹤：（hash 連接追蹤）
ALTER SYSTEM SET EVENTS ‘ 10104 TRACE NAME CONTEXT,LEVEL 2’;
測試SQL
SELECT * FROM vendition a,customer b WHERE a.customerid = b.customerid;
SELECT * FROM vendition a,customer_small b WHERE a.customerid = b.customerid;
SELECT * FROM vendition a,customer_pity b WHERE a.customerid = b.customerid;

結論：
Oracle數據庫10g中，內存問題并不是干擾Hash join的首要問題，現今硬件價格越來越便宜，內存2G，8G，64G的環境也很常見。大家在針對hash join調優的過程，更要偏重于partition和bucket的數據分配診斷。
