Hi

when I was in talk with Silvio Moioli, I found strange hash join. Hash was
created from bigger table.

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/79dd683d-3296-1b21-ab4a-28fdc2d98807%40suse.de

Now it looks so materialized CTE disallow hash

create table bigger(a int);
create table smaller(a int);
insert into bigger select random()* 10000 from generate_series(1,100000);
insert into smaller select i from generate_series(1,100000) g(i);

analyze bigger, smaller;

-- no problem
explain analyze select * from bigger b join smaller s on b.a = s.a;

postgres=# explain analyze select * from bigger b join smaller s on b.a =
s.a;
QUERY PLAN

but with materialized CTE

postgres=# explain analyze with b as materialized (select * from bigger), s
as materialized (select * from smaller) select * from b join s on b.a = s.a;

It doesn't use hash join - the estimations are perfect, but plan is
suboptimal
