-------------------------------------
was (Author: jiajunbernoulli):
I checked the sql in other databases, MySQL, Postgres, Presto all keep char
length. So I think this is a bug, and I have a question: can we think char(3)
equals char(5) in *RelOptUtil#areRowTypesEqual*?
> case statements returning char strings have unexpected results

> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.31.0
> Reporter: David
> Assignee: Jiajun Xie
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using a case statement where the return value is one of two different
> length strings the retsult is always padded to the length of the longer
> string. This is using the csv example, though I doubt the connection matters.
> The following sql shows that unless the string constants are cast as varchar
> the shorter of the two strings is padded in length. This padding is
> unexpected. Trim() removes the padding so as a workaround I wrap my case
> statemens that return strings in trim(case ..... end)
