    Description

      Frederic Moreau reports (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/200510.mbox/browser):

      Hello,

      The optimizer does not take my indexes into account when I do a select on
      a 'UNION ALL' type of view ; therefore, table scans are done and
      performances are bad.

      Note : my indexes are taken into account if I try equivalent selects on
      tables (instead of views).

      Please find below a sample illustrating the problem using the
      RUNTIMESTATISTICS calls.

      Could anynone help me on this subject ?
      Thank you.

      My cloudscape version is the 10.0.2.1 one.
      I also tried it on the 10.1.1.0 version (same result).
