Consider how a database system query optimizer might choose to evaluate the following query

select $$

from r$1$ natural join r$2$

where A $<1234$

with A being an attribute appearing only in r$1\text{'}$s schema. Since the where clause applies only to r$1,$ the projection $($A$<1234)$ could be applied before the natural join. Is the following statement true?

It makes no difference since the natural join is on the join attribute$($s$).($True or False$)$
