Are there any plans to implement merge joins in sqlite? As far as I am aware, only nested loops are currently supported.
Merge joins could be an incredible optimization in some cases for large queries and would make sqlite much faster in such cases. Personally, I would like to have this option rather as a sql HINT, than as an optimizer option, since the optimizer now, small and efficient as it is, does a great job. The merge join HINT could be used to greatly optimize specific queries - i.e. queries where poking the index many many times on an already ordered set is inefficient. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
