Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-6839:
--------------------------------------
I’m not sure that this is a bug. Yes, exceptions are tiresome. But what
behavior would be better? Changing the type derivation is also problematic.
> The SUM function sometimes throws overflow exceptions due to incorrect return

> Key: CALCITE-6839
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-6839
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: xiong duan
> Assignee: xiong duan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> The SQL in dummy.iq:
> {code:java}
> !use scott
> !set outputformat mysql
> select sum(mgr) from emp;
> !ok{code}
> Because the data type of MGR is TINYINT, according to SUM's data type
> inference rules, the data type of SUM is also TINYINT.
> This SQL throws the exception:
> {code:java}
> java.sql.SQLException: Error while executing SQL "select sum(mgr) from emp":
> Value 38835 out of range {code}
