Thanks a lot, so seems it's not about predicates being pushed into subquery, but subquery cannot be un-nested. I wonder why that is, what is it about the outer query having TABLE expression would prevent un-nesting this subquery? The two things seem un-related to me.
So I could consider attempting to un-nest the subquery manually myself (of course with real-life example, logic is much more complex)? Any other ideas? Otherwise may need to consider allowing them to dump contents to GTT to join against.
Note interestingly test-case does run fine on my system, (maybe database doesn't check column alias of TABLE or something else I've missed)
