Sergey Soldatov commented on PHOENIX-2886:
------------------------------------------
[~jamestaylor] can't we just collect all types let say for the 1st column
(type1, type2), choose the one to which all others are coercible and chose it
as the output type for union table and make others coerced to it? Do we really
need any additional logic there?
> Union ALL with Char column not present in the table in Query 1 but in Query
> 2 throw exception
