Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-3926:
----------------------------------------
Bryan, I haven't read your comment completely but I noticed " I wish I had a
clearer grasp on the concept of a 'partial join order. I think that this is an
intermediate stage during optimization, where the optimizer has so far chosen
an ordering for some, but not yet all, of the tables. It looks like the code is
trying to handle the problem of how to make a sort avoidance check at this
intermediate point in optimization." Your understanding of partial join order
is correct. For our specific query case, the optimizer is eventually going to
have a join order consisting of 3 tables once it determines the best join
order. But to arrive to that join order, it goes through many iterations of
possible join orders. It starts out by considering only one optimizable in the
first position of the join order, eg, 0,-1,-1 and this will be considered
partial join order.

> Key: DERBY-3926
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3926
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.1.3.3, 10.2.3.0, 10.3.3.1, 10.4.2.0
> Reporter: Tars Joris
> Attachments: derby-reproduce.zip

> I think I found a bug in Derby that is triggered by an index on a large
> column: VARCHAR(1024). I know it is generally not a good idea to have an
> index on such a large column.
> I have a table (table2) with a column "value", my query orders on this column
> but the result is not sorted. It is sorted if I remove the index on that
> column.
> The output of the attached script is as follows (results should be ordered on
> the middle column):
> ID |VALUE |VALUE
> ----------------------------------------------
> 2147483653 |000002 |21857
> 2147483654 |000003 |21857
> 4294967297 |000001 |21857
> While I would expect:
> ID |VALUE |VALUE
> ----------------------------------------------
> 4294967297 |000001 |21857
> 2147483653 |000002 |21857
> 2147483654 |000003 |21857
> This is the definition:
> CREATE TABLE table1 (id BIGINT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id));
> CREATE INDEX key1 ON table1(id);
> CREATE TABLE table2 (id BIGINT NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, value
> VARCHAR(1024), PRIMARY KEY(id, name));
> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX key2 ON table2(id, name);
> CREATE INDEX key3 ON table2(value);
> This is the query:
> SELECT table1.id, m0.value, m1.value
> FROM table1, table2 m0, table2 m1
> WHERE table1.id=m0.id
> AND m0.name='PageSequenceId'
> AND table1.id=m1.id
> AND m1.name='PostComponentId'
> AND m1.value='21857'
> ORDER BY m0.value;
> The bug can be reproduced by just executing the attached script with the
> ij-tool.
> Note that the result of the query becomes correct when enough data is
> changed. This prevented me from creating a smaller example.
> See the attached file "derby-reproduce.zip" for sysinfo, derby.log and
> script.sql.
> Michael Segel pointed out:
> "It looks like its hitting the index ordering on id,name from table 2 and is
> ignoring the order by clause."
