Hi,

In a WHERE part of query we have

SELECT * FROM SomeTable st
WHERE 
NOT EXISTS 
  (SELECT 1 FROM Tab t1 WHERE t1.A = st.A OR t1.B = st.A)
OR EXISTS 
  (SELECT 1 FROM Tab t2 WHERE (t2.A = st.A OR t2.B = st.A) AND t2.C IS NULL)

Seems like a good candidate for merging... But I'm staring on that for an hour without any idea.

Would you have some thoughts?

Thanks,
