Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-2421:
--------------------------------------
Sorry, I was wrong. I don't know what I was thinking.
As you say, simplifying "A = A and B = B" to "A is not null and B is not null"
is valid if unknownAsFalse and we should do it.
> RexSimplify#simplifyAnds foregoes some simplications if unknownAsFalse set to
> true

> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Laurent Goujon
> Assignee: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Minor
>
> It looks like {{RexSimplify#simplifyAnds}} foregoes some comparison
> simplifications if {{unknownAsFalse}} is set to true, like {{A = A AND B =
> B}} which might be simplified to {{A IS NOT NULL AND B IS NOT NULL}} or even
> {{true}} if {{A}} and {{B}} are known to be not nullable.
> One consequence of this is that the selectivity value might be off as a {{=}}
> comparison has a selectivity of 15% whereas {{IS NOT NULL}} has a selectivity
> of 90%.
> The simplication is skipped because {{RexSimplify#simplifyList}} simplify all
> terms with {{unknownAsFalse}} set to {{false}}, but in
> {{RexSimplify#simplifyAnd2ForUnknownAsFalse}}, there's no attempt at trying
> again to simplify each term.
