Thanks£¬professor Stefan Manegold,when I use explain,I get the optimizer MAL plan.
 I have another question, so we know that many classic optimizer for  row-oriented database£¬and can I say the MAL optimizer is unique for  column-oriented database such as MonetDB? or some of MAL optimizer is unique for column-oriented?
Best regards!

if you prefix your SQL query with EXPLAIN to see the MAL plan, you get the
optimizer MAL plan, i.e., all optimizers have already been called and done
their work.
