Another mild planning oddity; this time, the query does not seem to rem,ove
an unreferenced column from the plan. No big deal, but for larger queries
it can significantly increase the cost.
create table g(n text, rn text);
create table r(n text, p int);
create table t(p int, x int);
-- Basically LOJ t->r->g, and return 'n' from g if found.
create view tv as selectt.p,g.n as gn,x
from t left outer join r on (r.p=t.p)left outer join g on (g.rn = r.n);
explain select (select r.n from r where r.p=tv.p), -- no reference to gn!sum(x)
