I have two tables, say,
t1 (id, title)
t2 (id, hash)
I want to run a query of the form:
select title from t1,t2 where t1.id=t2.id and t2.hash=15;
I have indexes on all fields, but postgres insists on doing a nested loop
join between t1 and t2 which takes a lot of time.
If I do this
select title into temp from t1,t2 where t1.id=t2.id;
select * from temp where temp.hash=15;
things go much much faster because now postgres uses a hash join.
Is there any way to synthesize this behavior without using the temp. table?
thanks,
Pete
p.s. t1 has, say, 10K records and t2 is somewhat smaller, less then a
thousand records.
