More Complex QEPs
The previous series of QEPs on the different classes of joins involved only two tables. More complex QEPs involving joins with three or more tables can be read as a sequence of two-table joins that have already been described, with the query optimizer deciding what is the optimal join sequence. The key to understanding these complex QEPs is recognizing the join sequences and the types of joins being implemented.
