Author Dmitry Kuzmenko
Hello, Alec!

AS> 2. Changed the query to "A INNER JOIN B ORDER BY X PLAN P", where P is the
AS> plan generated by FB in #1. Received "Unexpected token PLAN" error.
AS> 3. Change the query to "A INNER JOIN B PLAN P ORDER BY X" - success!

AS> Why does #3 succeed but #2 fail?

because inner join is not equal to left join.
