Description:

Hi,

I have found out that in  a where-in query if the nested query fails, the
parent query returns all the records if the where condition field matches
with the selected field in the inner query.
Example:
SELECT *
FROM  table_a 
WHERE field_only_in_parent_table IN (
   SELECT field_only_in_parent_table 
   FROM table_b 
   WHERE name = 'John Doe')

If you run only the nested query it fails because the field does not exist
for table_b
If you run all the query, it returns all the records of table_a

Regards,

Flavio
