does an inline view execute before the rest of the select?

Ken QuiriciNov 13 2005 — edited Nov 14 2005
Hi,

The O'Reilly book Mastering Oracle Sql defines an inline view simply as a
subquery in a select FROM clause. This conforms to the definitions in
the Oracle 9i and 10g docs.

But unlike the Oracle docs, the O'Reilly book says the inline view is,
like a WITH clause, executed before the rest of the query. I can't see
how this can be done unless the inline view makes no reference to
other tables joined in the FROM clause.

Is there a species of inline view in 9i/10g that IS restricted as above -
no refs to other tables in the FROM clause - and what is it called?

Thanks for any help.
