On platforms that will automatically execute initialization functions of a

|
|
|
shared library (this includes at least Windows and ELF-based Unixen),
|
|
|
|
|
<command>LOAD</> can be used to make the server execute arbitrary code.

The result of the join was mistakenly supposed to be sorted the same as the

|
left input. This could not only deliver mis-sorted output to the user, but
|
|
|
|
|
in case of nested merge joins could give outright wrong answers.
