Re: "Some tests to cover hash_index"

Why not use generate_series() queries to insert the appropriate number
of tuples, instead of a handful of INSERT lines each time?  Since each
insert is a separate transaction, that would probably be faster.

Why do you have a plpgsql function just to create a cursor?  Wouldn't it
be simpler to create the cursor in an SQL statement?
