Adding an "ON true" is probably what you want. You would also need to change isnull() with coalesce(). The final query should be: SELECT o.order_id, o.total_price - COALESCE(sub.paid, 0) FROM _order o LEFT JOIN LATERAL ( SELECT SUM(p.amount) AS paid FROM payment p WHERE p.order_id = o.order_id ) AS sub ON true WHERE o.total_price > coalesce(sub.paid, 0);
