Description

Correlated subselects with TRUE as one of the operands of OR node lead to unexpected exceptions.

Preparation

create schema s;

create table t1(x int);
create table t2(y int);

Example

Following query throws exception "tables are not allowed in this context"

select * from t2 where y = (select min(x) from t1 where x=y or true);

Workaround

Remove useless OR condition manually, as it results always with TRUE. Following query runs without errors:

select * from t2 where y = (select min(x) from t1);

Fix

Query runs as expected.
