            Bug ID: 82325
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: query builder should seek input concerning what table
                    operation should be done first
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: dougt901-2...@yahoo.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.3.0.4 release
         Component: Database
           Product: LibreOffice

With LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN, it matters what table operation is performed
first.  Query builder is not as good at figuring out what goes first, and if
there are more that two tables it seems not good at creating a plan for the
SQL.  Consider having the builder allow user to group tables from left to right
or top to bottom to give visual cues to builder what table operation should be
performed first.

Presently, where multiple tables and joins are concerned, only way to ensure
desired sequence of execution is to save multiple layered queries, one
referencing the other.  That leads to too many saved queries.  Instead,
consider giving user finer control in context of one query (or getting better
SQL plans when more than two LEFT or RIGHT JOIN relationships are in play.
