The following query, when run with the default join_cache_level:

SELECT STRAIGHT_JOIN table1 .`col_int_key`
FROM R table1 LEFT JOIN C table2 JOIN Q table3 ON table2 .`col_int_key` = table3 .`pk` ON table1 .`col_varchar_1024_utf8_key` = table3 .`col_varchar_1024_latin1_key` RIGHT JOIN BB table4 RIGHT JOIN V LEFT JOIN X table6 RIGHT JOIN M table7 JOIN Q table8 ON table8 .`col_int` ON table8 .`col_int` ON table7 .`col_varchar_10_utf8` JOIN I table9 ON table9 .`col_varchar_10_utf8_key` ON table4 .`col_varchar_1024_latin1_key` = table9 .`col_varchar_1024_utf8_key` ON table1 .`col_varchar_1024_utf8` = table6 .`col_varchar_1024_latin1`
WHERE table8 .`col_int_key` ;
