> Validator cannot infer type for COALESCE when call is not expanded
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CALCITE-6991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-6991
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.39.0
> Reporter: Mihai Budiu
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> By default the validator rewrites calls such as COALESCE into CASE.
> This is controlled by the callRewrite() flag of SqlValidator.Config.
> When this flag is turned off, the validator will throw on an expression such
> as the following:
> {code:sql}
> SELECT COALESCE(DATE '2020-01-01', '2020-01-01')
> {code}
> This is the stack trace:
> {code}
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot infer return type for COALESCE;
> operand types: [DATE, CHAR(10)]

> COALESCE should insert the same implicit casts that the expansion does if the
> two expressions are truly equivalent.
