Hi Prasanth,
Thanks for you review.
When converting from CHAR(N) to CHAR(M), the
StringGroupFromStringGroupTreeReader class is used. It calls
convertStringGroupVectorElement to do any necessary trimming/length adjustment.
The Q files have cases for converting to smaller and larger maxLength, etc.
Yes, I saw that when the row reader stuff was removed a bunch of not used
members / parameters appeared. I had already removed them in the patch that
Sergey is currently reviewing.
