When the original predicate is from a multicolumn key, the simplified expression may remove one of the original join keys.

SYMPTOMS
If you have a set of predicates in the following form
(a = b) && (a = constant)
there is an implied redundant predicate (b = constant) that can be added. The absence of this implied predicate can make the query run slowly.
An enhancement has been made to SQL Server to add this redundant predicate for semi joins, anti-semi joins, inner joins, and outer joins.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.This problem was first corrected in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4.
MORE INFORMATION
When you apply a hotfix or service pack that contains this fix, the SQL Server optimizer automatically introduces the implied predicate and may remove the corresponding join predicate.
The example that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section shows a join between a and b. In this example, after optimization the predicate looks like the following:
(a = constant) and (b = constant)
When the original predicate is from a multicolumn key, the simplified expression may remove one of the original join keys. For example, the predicate t1.a = t2.a && t1.b = t2.b && t1.c = constant is changed to t1.b = t2.b && t1.a = constant && t2.a = constant. If column a is the leading column of a multicolumn index, you cannot use a multicolumn density match for cardinality estimation. Additionally, this may cause query plans where the query plan seeks on only the leading index column and applies the remaining filter criteria as residual filters in a WHERE clause on the index seek line or in a WHERE clause for the join operator. For example, the query plan seeks on t1.a = constant. In this scenario, there may be greater disk input/output load and increased CPU utilization. In SQL Server 2000 SP4, you can disable this optimization through trace flag 9061.
