Err, isn't that more-or-less exactly what you want here? The smaller
table is going to be hashed and then you'll traverse the bigger table
and bounce each row off the hash table. Have you tried actually running
this and seeing how long it takes? The bigger table doesn't look to be
*that* big, if your i/o subsystem is decent and you've got a lot of
memory available for kernel cacheing, should be quick.
Thanks,
Stephen
