You don’t perform math on a hash
That's not generally true. Hashes are used for further computation for
example in hash tables or in cryptography.
How is it "using math" to use a hash key in a hash lookup table?
hash modulo table size.
I've seen that used when the
tablespace is pre-allocated, and you hash modulo the tablespace
page number. (Yes, performance tanks when you start filling up pages.) How do you hash on the (ever growing) table size?
