A query I has spends a long time on Hash Joins (and Hash Left Joins). I have a few questions: 1. When does Postgres decide to do a Hash Join, over another type of Join? 2. Do Hash Joins normally perform poorly? What can I do to speed them up? 3. What can I do to enable Postgres to use a faster type of join? If there's a good resource for me to read on this, please let me know.
