Re: [SQL] could not devise a query plan

Dear Gnanavel,

(please reply to the lists...)

Indeed it works!

Still, I think it's a bug.

As for this solution being a workaround, it's a bit of pain, since the 
subselect names (effectively, the included subselects) are not constant.

As for my workaround, I used a condition to not include the last WHERE 
clause in the query when the inner WHERE clauses are present (since it does 
nothing).
