Frequently Asked Questions on Dynamic Hashing
How is dynamic hashing different from static hashing?
In static hashing, the resultant data bucket address will remain same while in dynamic hashing, the data bucket size shrinks or grows while increase or decrease of records.
Which hashing method is used to access the dynamic files?
Extensible hashing approach simultaneously solves the problem of making hash tables that are extendible and of making radix search trees that are balanced. It can be used to access the dynamic files.
What are popular dynamic hashing techniques?
Some popular dynamic hashing techniques are linear hashing, extensible hashing and consistent hashing.
Dynamic Hashing in DBMS
In this article, we will learn about dynamic hashing in DBMS. Hashing in DBMS is used for searching the needed data on the disc. As static hashing is not efficient for large databases, dynamic hashing provides a way to work efficiently with databases that can be scaled.
