The documentation states the Standard and mentions any difference in
implementation. In this case it misses the fact that subqueries are not
yet supported in check constraints.

We will probably add some support in this area later this year.

  Hi,



on [1]http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/databaseobjects-chapt.html#dbc_co
nstraints (or page 48 in the PDF) it says:



"A CHECK constraint consists of a <search condition> that must not be
false (can be unknown) for each row of the table. The <search
condition> can reference all the columns of the current row, and if it
contains a <subquery>, other tables and views in the database
(excluding its own table)."



Is this actually true or an error in the documentation? Trying a
subquery in a check constraint gives me a FeatureNotSupportedException.



Are there any plans to support this functionality (or Assertions in
general) in the near future?
