The query at the end of the following SQL returns no rows, but it should return
one row. The correct answer (one row) is confirmed by running the same
SQL against PostgreSQL.
<blockquote><verbatim>
CREATE TABLE t1(a INT);
INSERT INTO t1(a) VALUES(1);
CREATE TABLE t2(b INT);
SELECT a, b
FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON true
WHERE (b IS NOT NULL) IS false;
</verbatim></blockquote>
Another manifestation of the problem which runs on historical versions
of SQLite but which does not work on PostgreSQL is this:
<blockquote><verbatim>
CREATE TABLE t1(a INT);
INSERT INTO t1(a) VALUES(1);
CREATE TABLE t2(b INT);
SELECT a, b
FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON 0
WHERE (b IS NOT NULL)=0;
</verbatim></blockquote>
This problem first appeared with check-in [dd568c27b1d76563] - the
LEFT JOIN strength reduction optimization - and first appeared in
release 3.23.0 (2018-04-02). The problem was reported
on the SQLite users mailing list.
