An excellent point, I forgot about this. The COPY command is the best thing
since the invention of a shirt pocket. We have a database-per-customer design,
and one of the mosterous advantages of Postgres is that we can easily do
backups. A pg_dump, then scp to a backup server, and in just a minute or two
we have a full backup. For recovery, pg_restore is equally fast and amazing.
Last time I checked, Oracle didn't have anything close to this.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
