In previous releases, outer joins would always be evaluated in
the order written in the query. This change allows the
query optimizer to consider reordering outer joins, in cases where
it can determine that the join order can be changed without
altering the meaning of the query. This can make a
considerable performance difference for queries involving
multiple outer joins or mixed inner and outer joins.
