The queries are not the same.
2nd variant will not return the rows where there are no matching rows
inthis_1_ , companymea2_ or ces3_.company_id
A query equivalent to first one would be:
select * from company this_
left outer join company_tag this_1_
on (this_.id=this_1_.company_id
and this_1_.company_id>50000000)
left outer join company_measures companymea2_
on (this_.id=companymea2_.company_id
and companymea2_.company_id>50000000)
left outer join company_descr ces3_
on (this_.id=ces3_.company_id
and ces3_.company_id>50000000)
where this_1_.tag_id = 7
and this_.id>50000000
order by this_.id asc
limit 1000;
I'm not sure that planner considers the above form of plan rewrite, nor
that it would make much sense to do so unless there was a really small
number of rows where x_.company_id>50000000
