Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-3310:
----------------------------------------------
For the rationale to the change to VirtualColumnNode (554012)
>From the description of VirtualColumnNode it is a representation of a base
>column from a view or a table in another part of a query.
If this is the case then the type of the VirtualColumnNode must be the type of
the underlying column. It's role is not as a type
changer. If it is meant to have that role as well, which would seem to overload
its purpose, then that should be clearly documented in the class.
I think keeping the roles of the various nodes to be clear and simple is the
best approach.

> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0
> Reporter: Dyre Tjeldvoll
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: cast-repro.sql
>
>
> The following code
> CREATE TABLE U (SNAME VARCHAR(32000), TNAME VARCHAR(32000), C1 BIGINT);
> -- This triggers an ASSERT (because 2 is INTEGER and not BIGINT)
> INSERT INTO U(SNAME, TNAME, C1) SELECT DISTINCT SCHEMANAME, TABLENAME, 2
> FROM SYS.SYSTABLES T JOIN SYS.SYSSCHEMAS S ON T.SCHEMAID = S.SCHEMAID;
> gives
> ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'ASSERT FAILED col1.getClass() (class
> org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLInteger) expected to be the same as
> col2.getClass() (class org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLLongint):
> org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.AssertFailure'.
