+ HANDLING MULTIPLE NESTED OUTER JOINS
+ ====================================
+
+ Outer joins that are not nested one within another are eliminated
+ independently. For nested outer joins we have the following considerations:
+
+ 1. ON expressions from children outer joins must be taken into account
+
+ Consider this example:
+
+ SELECT t0.*
+ FROM
+ t0
+ LEFT JOIN
+ (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.primary_key=t1.col1)
+ ON
+ t1.primary_key=t0.col AND t2.col1=t1.col2
+
+ Here we cannot eliminate the "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON ..." part alone because the
+ ON clause of top level outer join has references to table t2.
+ We can eliminate the entire "... LEFT JOIN (t1 LEFT JOIN t2) ON .." part,
+ but in order to do that, we must look at both ON expressions.
+
+ 2. ON expressions of parent outer joins are useless.
+ Consider an example:
+
+ SELECT t0.*
+ FROM
+ t0
+ LEFT JOIN
+ (t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON some_expr)
+ ON
+ t2.primary_key=t1.col -- (*)
+
+ Here the uppermost ON expression has a clause that gives us functional
+ dependency of table t2 on t1 and hence could be used to eliminate the
+ "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON..." part.
+ However, we would not actually encounter this situation, because before the
+ table elimination we run simplify_joins(), which, among other things, upon
+ seeing a functional dependency condition like (*) will convert the outer join
+ of
+
+ "... LEFT JOIN t2 ON ..."
+
+ into inner join and thus make table elimination not to consider eliminating
+ table t2.
