Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5554:
--------------------------------------

There does not seem to be any previous discussion of what it means to join a 
parameterized diagnostic VTI in the FROM list. DERBY-2152 was a follow-on issue 
to DERBY-571. It seems to me that the clear intent of those issues was to fit 
diagnostic VTIs inside the SQL Standard, replacing the Derby-specific 
constructor syntax. The intent was not to create more syntax outside the SQL 
Standard. It does not appear that anyone realized the possibility of the 
illegal join in the FROM list until late in the process of documenting 
DERBY-2152. It does not appear that anyone at that time was aware that the 
syntax had no meaning inside the SQL Standard. Certainly there is no discussion 
of how the syntax violates the Standard and there is no discussion of what the 
non-standard syntax means.

This suggests the following:

1) Without any guidance from the people who introduced this feature, we will 
have to try to come up with our own meaning.

2) We should not document the meaning of the non-standard syntax. The point of 
DERBY-2152 was to steer people away from Derby extensions and encourage people 
to use standard syntax.
