Oliver Lee commented on CALCITE-5389:
-------------------------------------
I have some questions on how we should handle `BYTES`
Context: BIG_QUERY documentation says it should support `STRING` as well as
`BYTES` for input
Issue: Running a query like `SELECT STARTS_WITH(b'123', b'1');` gives me a
parser exception `ParseException: Encountered "\'123\'"`, unable to parse byte
literals.
I've tried casting a string as BYTES with `SELECT CAST("12" as BYTES) ;` and
that returns `Unknown identifier 'BYTES' -> SqlValidatorException: Unknown
identifier 'BYTES'`
I see in Calcite that we do acknowledge the BYTES/ VARBINARY aliasing
[https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/main/core/src/main/java/org/apache/calcite/sql/SqlAlienSystemTypeNameSpec.java#L30]
Question: Could I follow through with this current PR and file a new ticket
detailing that BIG_QUERY BYTES is not fully functioning?
