Silun Dong updated CALCITE-7134:
--------------------------------
Description:
Taking SUM as an example, the strategy for SUM type inference is (in
ReturnTypes.java):
{code:java}
public static final SqlReturnTypeInference AGG_SUM = opBinding -> {
final RelDataTypeFactory typeFactory = opBinding.getTypeFactory();
final RelDataType type = typeFactory.getTypeSystem()
.deriveSumType(typeFactory, opBinding.getOperandType(0));
if (opBinding.getGroupCount() == 0 || opBinding.hasFilter()) {
return typeFactory.createTypeWithNullability(type, true);
} else {
return type;
}
}; {code}
As mentioned in CALCITE-845:
??e.g. that 'select sum( x ) from t group by g' should be not null and 'select
sum( x ) from t' should be nullable??
The current implementation will check {{{}groupCount{}}}. If {{groupCount}} is
0, it is considered that there is no group. Similarly, when
{{{}groupSets{}}}=[(0, 1), (0), ()], that is, {{groupSets}} contains empty
group, SUM should also be nullable, but now it will be inferred as not
nullable.
The following figure shows the test results on pglite:

the test results on Calcite:
{code:java}
!use scott
!set outputformat mysql
select sum(empno) from emp where 1=2;
+--------+
| EXPR$0 |
+--------+
| |
+--------+
(1 row)
!ok
select sum(empno) from emp where 1=2 group by deptno, job;
+--------+
| EXPR$0 |
+--------+
+--------+
(0 rows)
!ok
select sum(empno) from emp where 1=2 group by rollup(deptno, job);
+--------+
| EXPR$0 |
+--------+
+--------+
(0 rows)
!ok {code}
Is this a bug? If it is a bug, then in addition to SUM, there may also be AVG.
