DDtKey opened a new issue, #4420:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/issues/4420

   **Describe the bug**
   
   If you would try to perform plus/minus operation over `dates`/`timestamps` 
inside SQL it will return an error:
   ` X  - Y can't be evaluated because there isn't a common type to coerce the 
types to`
   
   It looks incorrect to me, it's more about unsupported operations (it works 
only with intervals), not coercion itself.
   
   Moreover it confuses me, because it could be the same types and error 
doesn't report the relevant reason.
   
   **To Reproduce**
   Just write SQL with this unsupported operation, like:
   `select now() - now() from x`
   
   **Expected behavior**
   It should returns clear error, like: `the Timestamp - Timestamp is 
unsupported operation`
   
   **Additional context**
   Here the current logic is: [Link to the related
