I gave that another thought and don't think that requiring the user to
do a separate join is a good idea anymore. We can actually infer if a
join is required and when using the ANSI parenthesis join syntax the
join type does not really matter. If we stick to the join rendering
style we have, we should just use the collection tables join type.
Do you think it makes sense to implement support for "JOIN
KEY(m).association" in 5.2 or just leave it as it is? I would implement
that if you give your ok.
What do you think about all that so far?
I'd say we likely shouldn't be putting significant effort into adding
**new features*** *into 5.2. I'd recommend adding it into the 6.0
branch and if/when we decide to consider a 5.3 branch release as a
further stepping stone to 6.0, perhaps we back-port this feature to that
branch if the team feels its relevant to do so.
But that's just my perspective :).
