Hashed Primary Key

Overview

Having a Hashed version of the primary key can speed up lookups from other tables, especially if the primary key consists of multiple alphanumerical fields.

Process

1. Right-click the table > Advanced > Advanced Settings.

  • 2. Selec the box for Enable BK Hash Key.

    When that option is checked, the Jet Data Manager will generate a Hashed version of the Primary key fields(s) using the SHA1 Hashing Method. If no primary key is selected, then the BK_HASH_KEY will contain a hashed version of the DW_ID Field.
