I have a, in general, very simple query and don't understand why the actual execution plan shows me a warning "No Join Predicate" right after the initial select on a "Nested Loops" node.
I think the query is pretty self-explanatory: I have Users and they have UserSubscriptions to Feeds (m:n) - I want to query all FeedItems from one Feed the user must be subscribed to, so this query does this very well:
select fi.Title, fi.Content, fi.Published
from [User] u
inner join UserSubscription us on u.id = us.UserId
inner join Feed f on f.id = us.FeedId
inner join FeedItem fi on fi.FeedId = f.Id
where u.EMailAddress = 'xxx@xxx.xx'
and f.id = 3
and fi.Inserted > getdate() - 30
The interesting part is that there is no warning as long as i leave out this condition:
and f.id = 3
As soon as I remove this, the warning about the missing join predicate disappears. I don't understand the cause for this warning here.
Any help understanding this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks b.
