Dmitry Sysolyatin commented on CALCITE-4999:
--------------------------------------------
[~julianhyde] Can you explain why it should not? I don't see any problem in
casting scalar type to row type with one field.
if really there is a problem with that then initial problem can be fixed if
`ARRAY` function will be modified in the way that return type of
`ARRAY(subquery)` will be [array of scalar] instead of [array of row]. Like
Postgres does -

> `least restrictive` type inference does not work when one operand is scalar
> and another is row with one field

> I faced with a issue that the following query:
> {code:java}
> SELECT ARRAY_CONCAT(ARRAY['1', '2'], array(select 'toast.' || x from
> unnest(ARRAY['1','2']) x)) {code}
> didn't work, because of:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot infer return type for
> ARRAY_CONCAT; operand types: [CHAR(1) ARRAY, RecordType(CHAR(7) EXPR$0)
> ARRAY]{code}
> `least restrictive` type inference does not work when one operand is scalar
> and another is row with one field
