Joining Strategy- - forum topic by Nishant.Bhardwaj

Hi all,
I was looking at the  various Joining strategies followed by TD optimizer like
a) MERGE Join
b) HASh Join
c) Nested Join
d) Exclusion Join
e) Product Join
when we think in terms of spool usage by each Joining strategy then i belive Nested Join is the best as it doesnt requires any Redistribution/sorting  or merging of the anawer sets as we are querying on a UPI/NUPI or a USI/NUSI in the where cluase.
Please correct me if i am wrong or add some thing here..
cheers!
