Optimize redundant predicates (non-indexed query)

XMLWordPrintable

      Cases where predicates evaluate to constant values are already detected and handled. But besides such trivial simplifications we should also try to handle more advanced simplification rules like:

      • X || X => X
      • X && X => X
      • !X || !X => !X
      • !X && !X => !X
      • X || !X => TRUE (tautology)
      • X && !X => FALSE (contradiction)
        (where X is a predicate not a general boolean expression)

      Even further simplification could be achieved if we were able to handle the general case where X is a general boolean expression, but we'll not try that yet for the sake of complexity.
