You mean like this?
CREATE SCHEMA a;
CREATE SCHEMA b;
CREATE TABLE a.y (id serial, things int);
CREATE TABLE b.y (id serial, things int);
INSERT INTO a.y (things) SELECT x FROM generate_series(1,100,3) z(x);
INSERT INTO b.y (things) SELECT x FROM generate_series(1,100,5) z(x);
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM a.y INNER JOIN b.y ON a.y.things = b.y.things;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hash Join (cost=1.45..3.12 rows=20 width=16)
Hash Cond: (a.y.things = b.y.things)
-> Seq Scan on y (cost=0.00..1.34 rows=34 width=8)
-> Hash (cost=1.20..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
-> Seq Scan on y (cost=0.00..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
(5 rows)
I agree, it's not helpful. But EXPLAIN (VERBOSE) prefixes the schema:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM a.y INNER JOIN b.y ON a.y.things = b.y.things;
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hash Join (cost=1.45..3.12 rows=20 width=16)
Output: a.y.id, a.y.things, b.y.id, b.y.things
Hash Cond: (a.y.things = b.y.things)
-> Seq Scan on a.y (cost=0.00..1.34 rows=34 width=8)
Output: a.y.id, a.y.things
-> Hash (cost=1.20..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
Output: b.y.id, b.y.things
-> Seq Scan on b.y (cost=0.00..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
Output: b.y.id, b.y.things
(9 rows)
