OptimizeForFirstRows

Defines whether queries should be optimized to retrieve the first records as soon as possible rather than returning the whole dataset as soon as possible.By default, retrieval of all rows is implied by the optimizer.

OuterJoinConversion

Defines whether OUTER joins can be converted into INNER joins by the optimizer, provided that such a transformation is possible from the query result perspective.

Enabled by default.Can be disabled to simplify the migration path if OUTER joins are used intentionally in SQL queries (e.g. as optimizer hints) even if they are known to be semantically equivalent to INNER joins.
