Use a UNION ALL for getting merge request notes
In this particular case the use of UNION ALL leads to a better query
plan compared to using 1 big query that uses an OR statement to combine
different data sources.

See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/38508 for more
information.

module SQL
# Class for building SQL UNION statements.
#
# ORDER BYs are dropped from the relations as the final sort order is not
# guaranteed any way.
#
# Example usage:
#
# union = Gitlab::SQL::Union.new(user.personal_projects, user.projects)
# sql = union.to_sql
#
# Project.where("id IN (#{sql})")
class Union
def initialize(relations, remove_duplicates: true)

@remove_duplicates = remove_duplicates
end
def to_sql
# Some relations may include placeholders for prepared statements, these
# aren't incremented properly when joining relations together this way.
# By using "unprepared_statements" we remove the usage of placeholders
# (thus fixing this problem), at a slight performance cost.
