I am not sure the following results are correct.
with cte as (
select hashset(x) as x
,hashset_capacity(hashset(x))
,hashset_count(hashset(x))
from generate_series(1,10) g(x))
select *
,'|' as delim
, hashset_add(x,11111::int)
,hashset_capacity(hashset_add(x,11111::int))
,hashset_count(hashset_add(x,11111::int))
from cte \gx
results:
-[ RECORD 1 ]----+-----------------------------
x | {8,1,10,3,9,4,6,2,11111,5,7}
hashset_capacity | 64
hashset_count | 10
delim | |
hashset_add | {8,1,10,3,9,4,6,2,11111,5,7}
hashset_capacity | 64
hashset_count | 11
but:
with cte as(select '{1,2}'::int4hashset as x) select
x,hashset_add(x,3::int) from cte;
returns
x | hashset_add
-------+-------------
{1,2} | {3,1,2}
(1 row)
last simple query seems more sensible to me.
