Also, with a limited test data I have, I tried running queries against
two table scheme...
ifyou join two tables by id = id ( both ids are primary keys) it uses
hash join, however as soon as you add a condition on one of the
columns in ints' table, it degrades to nested loop. Wtf? Is there any
way to force it to used clustered indexes for gods sake?!
