[jira] [Commented] (CALCITE-873) Prevent sort when ORDER BY not necessary due to equality constraints

["Julian Hyde (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-873?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16070932#comment-16070932 ] 

Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-873:
-------------------------------------

{{testSortConstantRemoval}} is not present in the latest PR.

I'm not sure what causes the loop in {{testSortConstantRemoval2}} and I don't have time to debug it.

> We're working on an optimization in Phoenix to optimize away an ORDER BY when it is known based on equality expressions in the WHERE clause that it is not necessary (PHOENIX-2194). It'd be great if Calcite could do that as well.
> Here's a example, given the following schema:
> {code}
> CREATE TABLE T (
>   K1 VARCHAR,
>   K2 VARCHAR,
>   K3 VARCHAR,
>   CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY (K1, K2, K3));
> {code}
> In the following queries, no sort is necessary:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM T WHERE K1='A' ORDER BY K2,K3;
> SELECT * FROM T WHERE K2='B' ORDER BY K1,K3;
> SELECT * FROM T WHERE K1='A' AND K2='B' ORDER BY K3;
> {code}
> There are also some edge cases where a function may be known to select a *prefix* of the column value where it's still ok to not sort:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM T WHERE K1='A' AND SUBSTR(K2,1,3)='ABC' ORDER BY K2;
> {code}
> But if another column is included in the ORDER BY after the prefixing, a sort would still be necessary:
> {code}
> SELECT * FROM T WHERE K1='A' AND SUBSTR(K2,1,3)='ABC' ORDER BY K2,K3;
> {code}
