Knut Anders Hatlen closed DERBY-4405.
-------------------------------------
Verified that the three statements had similar performance on trunk. Closing.

> In the CROSS JOIN section in the reference manual
> (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsqljcrossjoin.html) there are
> three examples that are supposed to be equivalent. However, the performance
> differs significantly between the different queries.
> The queries use the tours db and look like this:
> (1)
> SELECT * FROM CITIES LEFT OUTER JOIN
> (FLIGHTS CROSS JOIN COUNTRIES)
> ON CITIES.AIRPORT = FLIGHTS.ORIG_AIRPORT
> WHERE COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE = 'US'
> (2)
> SELECT * FROM CITIES LEFT OUTER JOIN
> FLIGHTS INNER JOIN COUNTRIES ON 1=1
> ON CITIES.AIRPORT = FLIGHTS.ORIG_AIRPORT
> WHERE COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE = 'US'
> (3)
> SELECT * FROM CITIES LEFT OUTER JOIN
> (SELECT * FROM FLIGHTS, COUNTRIES) S
> ON CITIES.AIRPORT = S.ORIG_AIRPORT
> WHERE S.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE = 'US'
> When executed in ij, (1) and (2) need 6 seconds to complete, whereas (3)
> completes in 50 ms.
> The query plans for (1) and (2) use nested loop joins and table scans. (3)
> uses a combination of hash join and nested loop join, and index scans as well
> as table scans.
> It looks like (3) has been rewritten from a left outer join to an inner join
> internally. This is fine because all rows that have the right-side columns
> filled with NULLs will be filtered out by the predicate
> S.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE='US', so the extra rows generated by the outer join will
> not be returned.
> This optimization should also be possible for (1) and (2). We should improve
> the logic so that those joins are transformed too. The transformation happens
> in HalfOuterJoinNode.transformOuterJoins().
