Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-4045:
-------------------------------------------

I tried to remove the check, and the query in the description of the issue worked fine, and I could use positioned updates on the cursor. However, with other queries it failed when I tried to do the positioned update:

ij> get cursor c as 'select * from t1 where x in (select x from t1) for update';
ij> next c;
X          |Y         
----------------------
1          |one       
ij> next c;
X          |Y         
----------------------
2          |two       
ij> update t1 set y = 'asdfa' where current of c;
ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'ASSERT FAILED Join used in positioned update/delete: org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.AssertFailure'.

So the problem with subqueries in WHERE clauses appears to be that the optimizer may choose to rewrite the query to a join, and Derby doesn't have updatable joins.

> Embedded Derby (don't know about client) demoted an updatable result set apparently due to a nested query.
> select * from orders where (orders.recordno = (select max(orders.recordno) from orders))
> Fix if possible. 
> If it can't be fixed, the documentation should be changed.
