Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Cartesian join: What is this BUFFER SORT accomplishing?
Hi,
I'm performing a (intended) cartesian join of a table of one row, to a big table (9.2.0.5 on Open VMS):
SELECT *
FROM one_row_table, big_table.
This is the EXPLAIN PLAN:
SELECT STATEMENT
MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN TABLE ACCESS FULL one_row_table BUFFER SORT TABLE ACCESS FULL big_table
