Thomas,

Bear in mind that when something
is stripped down to the bare minimum 
to identify the critical point, it can look 
"obviously wrong".  

Oracle can do the same sort of FILTER
trick at run time with bind variables - and
it is possible for users to be unaware that
they are supplying predicates that Oracle
"knows" will return an empty set.

Regards

Jonathan Lewis

Waleed,

Maybe Oracle should be smarter and recognize the craziness of the query.  

But then, maybe the developer should also recognize the problem.

Perhaps your frustration is pointing in the wrong direction?

Tom
