    optimizing sql joins?

    I've read (and lost the reference) that when doing joins
    of this form:

    A.col = B.col and A.col = C.col

    It is "helpful" to explicitlty add the
    implied join:

    B.col = C.col

    This is mathematically redundant, but may give
    the SQL optimiser another (potentially useful/fast)
    option.

    Can anybody comment, (or remember where I might
    have seen this tip)?
