Yes, I agree, but I don't particularly like linear hash models without the ability to adjust the initial table size estimates. Also, hash tables without access to the hash function typically have a lot of collision, specifically, I am dubious of "generic" hash functions having an optimally dispersed behavior. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
