Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-5233:
--------------------------------------
Which Calcite version are you using?
> Support for SQL syntax with parenthesis for outer join associativity
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CALCITE-5233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5233
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Dirk
> Priority: Major
>
> Outer joins are not associative ( .e.g. "(t1 LEFT JOIN t2) LEFT JOIN t3" !=
> "t1 LEFT JOIN (t2 LEFT JOIN t3)" ). For this SQL allows using parenthesis
> to specify associativity. For example the MySQL docs
> ([https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/nested-join-optimization.html] )
> have this as an example:
> SELECT * FROM (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.a=t2.a) LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.b=t3.b OR
> t2.b IS NULL;
> vs.
> SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2 LEFT JOIN t3 ON t2.b=t3.b OR t2.b IS NULL)
> ON t1.a=t2.a;
> {{{}The Calcite parser fails parsing this with a "{}}}{{{}Non-query
> expression encountered in illegal context" message (see stack trace of
> calcite 1.30 below).{}}}
> What I'd like to request as a feature is supporting parenthesis for join
> order in parser and SQL formatting. Support on a grammar, parsing, AST and
> formatting would be sufficient for me.
