I guess one thing we could do for testing purposes is lobotomize one of the datatype-specific hash functions. For instance, make int8_hash return the input mod 2^32, ignoring the upper bytes. Then it'd be easy to compute different int8s that hash to the same thing. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list (pgsql-patches@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
