Unique table key of an internal table, in which the assignment to the table rows is managed using a hash algorithm. A hash key is the primary table key of a hashed table and can be assigned to every type of internal table as a secondary table key. During access to an internal table using a hash key, the response time is constant, regardless of the number of table entries.
