And when we consider the usage for nest loop, we can consider the below example, where this feature will be more powerful.
select j1o.i, j2_v.sum_5 from j1 j1o inner join lateral (select im100, sum(im5) as sum_5 from j2 where j1o.im100 = im100 and j1o.i = 1 group by im100) j2_v on true where j1o.i = 1; -- Best Regards Andy Fan
