Indeed. The problem is much like a hash index. And anyone who's used hash indexing* should know that he must search the indicated "bucket" for the record which actually matches the search key. Hashing only cuts the size of the search space; it doesn't guarantee reducing it to a single-element space. ---------------- * And anyone who puts socks in one drawer and shirts in another has used hash indexing. :-) -- Mark H.
