still unclear what the correct answer is. my textbook also mentions that "the hash table is built from the smaller input"
Is this exactly what your textbook says?
Let's hope not since the build input should be made from the smaller set and the probe input from the remainder in a HASH JOIN.
A "hash table" would be something else but not sure how it would have different inputs. :hehe:
There are even HASH JOIN where the build and probe inputs are the same thing...
