MSJOIN

Short Description

The MSJOIN represents a merge join

Detailed Description​

The MSJOIN represents a merge join, also known as sorted merge join or a merge scan join. This operator is required by queries that reference more than one table in the FROM clause.

A merge join requires sorted input on the joining columns. This input is gained from either an index or a sorted table.

Performance can be improved by using local predicates i.e. predicates that reference only one of the tables in the join to minimize the number of rows being joined.
