Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-4861:
--------------------------------------
I see. Let's treat that as a bug.
What about lossy casts? {{CAST(CAST(543.21) AS DECIMAL(4, 1)) AS DECIMAL(7,
3))}}? I think that should return 543.2. What do you think?

> Key: CALCITE-4861
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4861
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Reporter: Marios Trivyzas
> Priority: Minor
>
> Simplification of Cast chained calls can lead to unexpected behaviour:
> CAST(CAST(CAST(123456 AS TINYINT) AS INT) AS BIGINT)
> is simplified to
> {noformat}
> CAST(123456 AS BIGINT){noformat}
> and returns *123456* with *BIGINT* data type, where the first inner cast as
> TINYINT should already fail because the value is out of range.
> For example, for PostgreSQL:
> {noformat}
> postgres=# select 123456::smallint::int::bigint;
> ERROR: smallint out of range{noformat}
