Subj:   Re: PE plan for join

  My question is: by doing this plan is the optimizer is correct job or not?  


Probably.

Table B seems to have the PI on the join column, table A has a different PI, so redistributing the small table seems reasonable.


  So much spool space required for this operation.  


Explain will show you how much spool the optimizer assumes (but it will not tell if it's evenly distributed or skewed)


  If I have UPI and some SI on this table, will PE select above plan?  


A SI on the join column will not change that plan (unless you join a small number of rows), because using a SI for that join would need more resources. This is different to most other DBMSes.

But if the join column is the PI of table A you'll get a direct join without any preparation.
