What is the primary difference between a nested loop join and a hash join? I dont have any idea about this and all I know is that they appear on the execution plan of a query. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Here are some links. I agree with usr, the question is not very constructive, since to answer it we would just be repeating what has been written elsewhere. If you want to re-phrase your question in a much more specific way, e.g. show us a query and a plan which has one type where you might expect another or want to know why a specific type was chosen, then I think it would be a much more suitable question. The following links should help:
