No. Not equivalent. But they might appear to be depending on what data you run it with. There might be constraints etc which mean they return the same results under your circumstances. But semantically they are not equivalent.

Hey guys, just need a quick sanity check here.

Are these queries equivalent? My gut says not exactly but maybe. The results returned are identical in the test cases I ran, but I fear I'm missing something.

Original SQL (27 seconds to return 26 rows) Modified Version - Same rows but 336 ms
