Haisheng Yuan commented on CALCITE-2798:
----------------------------------------
Order by without limit and offset clause can be removed. IIRC, PostgreSQL does
this during rewrite stage, even before planning. I have opened a PR for this
issue:

> Optimizer should remove unneeded Sort

> Key: CALCITE-2798
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2798
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.18.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov
> Assignee: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Major
>
> The following SQL performs sort twice, however inner sort can be eliminated
> {code}select * from (
> select * from "emps"
> order by "emps"."deptno"
> ) order by 1 desc{code}
> The same goes for (window calculation will sort on its own)
> {code}select row_number() over (order by "emps"."deptno") from (
> select * from "emps"
> order by "emps"."deptno" desc
> ){code}
> The same goes for SetOp (union, minus):
> {code}select * from (
> select * from "emps"
> order by "emps"."deptno"
> ) union select * from (
> select * from "emps"
> order by "emps"."deptno" desc
> ){code}
> There might be other cases like that (e.g. Aggregate, Join, Exchange,
> SortExchange)
