neilconway opened a new issue, #22480:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/22480

   ### Describe the bug
   
   `power(decimal, integer)` computes `base ^ exp` on the unscaled integer 
representation and then normalizes, which leads to overflows before 
normalization for reasonably sized inputs.
   
   ### To Reproduce
   
   ```
   SELECT power(2.5::decimal(20, 4), 10);
   -- Arrow error: Arithmetic overflow: Cannot raise base 25000 to exp 10
   ```
   
   ### Expected behavior
   
   DuckDB:
   ```
   memory D SELECT power(2.5::decimal(20, 4), 10);
   ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │ power(CAST(2.5 AS DECIMAL(20, 4)), 10) │
   │                 double                 │
   ├────────────────────────────────────────┤
   │                        9536.7431640625 │
   └────────────────────────────────────────┘
   ```
   
   Postgres returns the same.
