Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-3662:
---------------------------------
Description: The "CAST function" section of the Derby Reference manual says
that Derby supports the casts which were legal in SQL 92. There are a number of
casts which are legal in SQL 2003 which Derby does not support. These include
the casting of exact numerics to varchar and the casting of inexact numerics to
char and varchar. The SQL 2003 rules are defined in part 2 section 6.12 (<cast
specification>). Derby should support the liberal 2003 casting behavior. See
for instance this user feedback from Bogdan Calmac:
