Yes, this is correct. But the thing is that I don't want to find out how
a certain query is processed but instead how the processing is done when
the query type is determined by the join optimizer. When the optimizer has
decided to do a full table scan, does it do it as a nested loop join, a

That is why you need to use the EXPLAIN command. As I understand it, MySQL
has a number of different ways of doing a JOIN, and it attempts to optimise
those dynamically by inspecting not only which indexes it has available but
the sizes of the tables involved (e.g. to try to use the brute-force s
I am interested in the internal join algorithms, not the join types that
can be found in the manual. My question is how the join types in the
manual are processed internally? Or, what are the different join
algorithms supported by MySQL?
