From what you are showing unless I'm not parsing it correctly is that CHORUS_B has the column order sysid, authid, scopeid. But it defined with the query "SELECT sysid, scopeid, authid ... (SELECT x.sysid, x.scopeid, x.authid ..."

Optimization substitutes wrong column in where clause ----------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-2605 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2605 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Bug Components: Query Engine Affects Versions: 8.1 Environment: z/OS Reporter: Jeff Hayes Assignee: Steven Hawkins Attachments: query_plan.txt, views.xml Optimization results in a query with a different column in the WHERE clause producing an empty result set. Full query plan is attached but the beginning and ending queries are shown below. Note that the subject column of the IN clause is SCOPEID but optimization changes it to AUTHID for some reason.
