How would temporary tables?

The only difference between temporary tables and standard tables is the WAL. Global temporary tables would be accessible by all sessions and would be truncated on postmaster start. For a further potential speed boost, global temp tables could be put in a ramdisk tablespace.

Well, that's at least how I envision them.

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