Even if country.id is a primary or unique key?
Well, we currently don't have any logic for making inferences based on
unique constraints.
Huh?

Admittedly it's just one case and there's lots more to be done, but it's
more than nothing. So this is a *potential* argument for trying to trim
subquery outputs. What I'm not sure about is whether there are common
cases where this would be applicable below a non-flattenable subquery.
Wow. That's IHMO a major improvement in the optimizer. Is this also valid
for views?
In the area of views this might even be a killer feature since one can
define a view with many columns and when only e.g. one is used query is
still optimal. I had today such a situation where I created a new view to
be ~24 times faster (with a lot of left outer joins).
Is the patch only for 8.5 or even backported to 8.4 and 8.3?
Thnx.
Ciao,
Gerhard
