Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-5526:
--------------------------------------
[~wnoble], I don't follow everything you're saying, but scenario 2 seems a
better fit for Calcite. Calcite is a set of loosely-coupled components (parser,
sql-to-rel, sql-to-dialect) and they work independently.
Whichever scenario you land on, it needs to be expressed in a simple test case.
That is how we will all understand this issue when it has been fixed. So, write
that test case now.
> Handle unparsing of literals based on type system

>
> CALCITE-5424 dealt with parsing date/time literals via a custom type system,
> however there is still no way to unparse them via the same type system. This
> is handled in
> [SqlDialect.unparseDateTimeLiteral|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/a0e119ea42def418957f214f539469f1aba76c18/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/SqlDialect.java#L468]
> which simply calls the literal object's {{toString()}} method.
> The literal object (a subclass of {{SqlAbstractDateTimeLiteral}}) should not
> be able to determine it's own unparsed representation by itself since it
> could be unparsed in any dialect. Since the current system for resolving
> custom types relies on access to the catalog, it appears we'll need to
> introduce to {{SqlDialect}} a dependency on {{CalciteCatalogReader}} so it
> can use the same mappings for unparsing as it does for parsing.
