Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-4999:
--------------------------------------
> Runtime error is more dangerous than compile error
Not always true. If there is an important bug (or security issue) people will
want to upgrade to the next minor version of Calcite without changing or even
recompiling their code. So we must respect semantic versioning principles.
> ARRAY function should return an array of scalars if subquery returns 1 column

> At the moment `array` function returns [RecordType ARRAY] if subquery is
> passed like an argument.
> {code:java}
> SELECT array(select 'toast.' || x from unnest(ARRAY['1','2']) x){code}
> But Sql standard says:
> {code:java}
> 6.38 <array value constructor>
> Function
> Specify construction of an array.
> Format
> <array value constructor> ::=
> <array value constructor by enumeration>
> | <array value constructor by query>
> [...]
> <array value constructor by query> ::=
> ARRAY <table subquery>
> Syntax Rules
> [...]
> 3) If <array value constructor by query> is specified, then
> a) The <query expression> QE simply contained in the <table subquery> shall
> be of degree 1 (one). Let ET be the declared type of the column in the result
> of <query expression>.
> b) The declared type of the <array value constructor by query> is array with
> element type ET and maximum cardinality equal to the implementation-defined
> maximum cardinality IMDC for such array types.
> {code}
> Proposed solution is to return an array of scalars (e.g. INTEGER ARRAY) when
> the query returns 1 column, and continue to return an array of ROW when the
> query has 2 or more columns. And do the same for MULTISET.
