Interesting .. so these are rule-based then ? Not cost-based ?
I understand that there is a cost-based optimizer anyway that does the
planning and selects the right plan .. but does this come _after_ all
these transformations ? Or does it happen along with the
transformations ?

Can you please point me to the code that indeed does such
transformations ?
