Ok let me know if this is to naive of an approach or not hitting the
right cases you want tested.
create table hash_a (same text, uniq text);
insert into hash_a (same, uniq) select 'same', n from
generate_series(0, 5000) as n;
create table hash_b (uniq text);
insert into hash_b (uniq) select n from generate_series(5000, 10000) as n;
pgbench -c 1 -t 100 -n -f of the following
hash_same.sql:
set enable_seqscan to off;
set enable_mergejoin to off;
select 1 from hash_a as a inner join hash_a as aa on aa.same = a.same;
hash_uniq.sql:
set enable_seqscan to off;
set enable_mergejoin to off;
select 1 from hash_a as a inner join hash_b as b on b.uniq = a.uniq;
