Are some of the col_ano values very frequent? If say the value 42 occurs
1 million times in both table_a and table_b, the join will create 1
trillion rows for that value alone. That doesn't explain the crash or the
disk usage, but it would explain the crazy cost (and would probably be a
hint that this query is unlikely to finish in any reasonable time).
