public class JoinUtil
extends java.lang.Object

Utility methods for query planning related to joins.

In some cases, a query plan can be made more optimal via a few possible criteria/join optimizations.

Method Summary

static JoinType	getJoinTypePreventingCriteriaOptimization(PlanNode joinNode, java.util.Set<GroupSymbol> groups)
static boolean	isNullDependent(QueryMetadataInterface metadata, java.util.Collection<GroupSymbol> innerGroups, Criteria crit) Returns true if the given criteria can be anything other than false (or unknown) given all null values for elements in the inner groups
static boolean	isNullDependent(QueryMetadataInterface metadata, java.util.Collection<GroupSymbol> innerGroups, Expression expr)
