I had a plan as follows:
postgres=# explain select fk_child.* from fk_parent1 left join t1 on
true inner join fk_child on fk_child.p1_id = fk_parent1.id;
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..55.21 rows=2260 width=84)
-> Nested Loop (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=84)
Join Filter: (fk_parent1.id = fk_child.p1_id)
-> Seq Scan on fk_parent1 (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=4)
-> Seq Scan on fk_child (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=84)
-> Seq Scan on t1 (cost=0.00..32.60 rows=2260 width=0)
(6 rows)
The inner join between fk_parent1 and fk_child can be removed.
But now they are separated by an outer-join boundary, so
inner_join_is_removable() returns false.
If we support this kind of inner-join removal, it needs to remove not
only ref_rel but also the outer-join relid.
Do we plan to support this kind of inner-join removal now?
