Ah, I see your point about the temporary tables. I have retested with
permanent tables, and see the same output you do. By reducing the
generate_series by 100x, I am able to get the desired EXPLAIN plans by
turning on/off various optimizer settings. I am attaching my test
script and its output.
I suggestion is what I reduce generate_series by 100x and update the
EXPLAIN plans in the docs. The docs are unclear on how these different
plans are generated, though I am not excited about adding the exact
optimizer settings to generate each plan.
