>                 Key: DERBY-6983
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6983
>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 10.14.1.0
>            Reporter: Lukas Eder
>            Priority: Major
>
> The following query is not allowed in Derby:
> {code:java}
> SELECT *
> FROM sys.systables
> WHERE tablename IN (
>   SELECT *
>   FROM (
>     SELECT 'SYSTABLES' t
>     FROM sysibm.sysdummy1
>   ) t
> ){code}
> The error I'm getting is:
> {code:java}
> 'SELECT *' only allowed in EXISTS and NOT EXISTS subqueries.{code}
> In this case, it is "obvious" that the asterisk (also a qualified asterisk: t.*) expands to exactly one column and the query should be perfectly fine. I'm not aware of any other databases with such a restriction.
