Description

Comparison with a Sub query in a WHERE statement does not work.
Given that id_chargement is an integer:

USE db1;
SELECT * FROM tbl1 a WHERE a.id_chargement > (SELECT MAX(b.id_chargement) FROM tbl2 b);
or
SELECT * FROM tbl1 a WHERE a.id_chargement > (SELECT b.id_chargement FROM tbl2 b LIMIT 1);

Both return the following parsing error:

Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:88 cannot recognize input near 'SELECT' 'b' '.' in expression specification (state=42000,code=40000)
java.sql.SQLException: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:88 cannot recognize input near 'SELECT' 'b' '.' in expression specification
