Julian Hyde updated CALCITE-6572:
---------------------------------
Description:
When the argument to the {{TO_CHAR(<date or timestamp>, <format>)}} function is
nullable, the return type should be nullable, because a NULL value to either
argument will return a NULL result. But currently the type is derived as NOT
NULL.
*Update*: The type derivation was solved in CALCITE-6358, but there are still
no unit tests. The remaining task is to add tests for both the TO_CHAR function
in the Oracle/Redshift/MySQL libraries and the TO_CHAR function in the Postgres
library.
was:
We would expect the result of TO_CHAR(<date or timestamp>, <format>) to be
nullable, while it is not for now.
> Add more tests for NULL result of TO_CHAR PostgreSQL function
