----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this bug has existed since 2016. For now, I recommend not applying
SubQueryRemoveRule/RelDecorrelate to plans generated for UPDATE or DELETE
operations, because the delete statement depends on the {{WHERE}} clause from
the original {{{}SELECT{}}}.
In your case, the resulting plan probably looks like this (if check file which
you sent)
{code:java}
JdbcToEnumerableConverter
JdbcTableModify(table=[[public, tab1]], operation=[DELETE], flattened=[false])
JdbcProject(c1=[$0], c2=[$1])
JdbcJoin(condition=[=($0, $2)], joinType=[inner])
JdbcTableScan(table=[[public, tab1]])
JdbcAggregate(group=[{0}])
JdbcFilter(condition=[AND(=($1, 2), IS NOT NULL($0))])
JdbcTableScan(table=[[public, tab2]]){code}
The source SELECT looks something like:
{code:java}
SELECT t1.col0 AS c1, t1.col1 AS c2
FROM tab1 t1
JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT col0
FROM tab2
WHERE col1 = 2
AND col0 IS NOT NULL
) t2
ON t1.col0 = t2.col0; {code}
The delete will looks like:
{code:java}
DELETE FROM tab1 b <sourceSelect.getWhere()> <-- there is no where in top node
of source select
DELETE FROM tab1 b
{code}
We should find a more reliable way to generate the WHERE clause for DELETE
statements instead of using sourceSelect.getWhere() [1]

> Unexpected deletion of all table records for DELETE ... WHERE EXISTS
> <subquery>
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CALCITE-7250
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-7250
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.35.0, 1.40.0
> Reporter: Jordin Catanzaro
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: planner-2025-10-22-1.log
>
>
> We discovered a delete query with subquery containing conditionals that
> deletes _all records from the target table_ (tested in Apache Calcite,
> version: 1.40.0). The same query with postgres driver removes the single
> matching record as expected. Here is the offending query:
> {code:java}
> delete from tab1 b where exists (select 1 from tab2 a where a.c2=2 and
> a.c1=b.c1);{code}
> Here is how to reproduce the issue:
> {code:java}
> -- Setup tables and data in postgres
> create table tab1 (c1 int, c2 int);
> create table tab2 (c1 int,c2 int);
> insert into tab1 values (1,1);
> insert into tab1 values (2,2);
> insert into tab2 values (2,2);
>
> -- Delete query
> delete from tab1 b where exists (
> select 1 from tab2 a where a.c2=2 and a.c1=b.c1
> );
>
> -- Check results
> select * from tab1;
>
> -- Expected (postgres): (1,1)
> -- Actual (calcite): (empty set)
> -- Calcite generated query: DELETE FROM "tab1"
> {code}
> I have attached the query plan for reference. Perhaps there is an issue when
> applying both `a.c2=2 and a.c1=b.c1`? Removing `a.c=2` allows `a.c1=b.c1` to
> resolve correctly.
