Summary: SQL: Cross product count, algebra

Initial Comment:
I think it must be possible for a query like:

select count(*) from bigdatabase1, bigdatabase2;

To rewrite it to:
select (select count(*) from bigdatabase1) * (select count(*) from 
bigdatabase2);

Message:
Too specific transformation. Calls for a math reasoner
in the optimizer.
Won't be implemented in the foreseable future.

Message:
This one is on the count, and is partly implemented. The example above here
works. The other one is that the sum of the cross product equals the sum of
one multiplied by the amount of joins to come to the cross product itself.

So count(*)^N vs sum(something)*N

Sounds very similar to #2875295, is there a big difference?

Because I am seriously proud... I want to publish the patch first :D

select count(*) from kvk, kvk;
% . # table_name
% L60 # name
% wrd # type
% 13 # length
[ 5830679502400 ]
Timer       2.650 msec 1 rows

We have to work on some sort of overflow protection too... but that was
already in the /real/ bugtracker :)
