Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-7368:
--------------------------------------
Got it. Thank you. I was confused about how the data type puts a limit on the
length, so I ran a few more tests (tested on MSS):
{code:sql}
SELECT CAST(CAST(10 AS BIGINT) AS VARBINARY(16)) AS r;
0x000000000000000A
SELECT CAST(CAST(10 AS BIGINT) AS VARBINARY(8)) AS r;
0x000000000000000A
SELECT CAST(CAST(10 AS BIGINT) AS VARBINARY(6)) AS r;
0x00000000000A
SELECT CAST(CAST(10 AS BIGINT) AS VARBINARY(4)) AS r;
0x0000000A{code}
> The validator accepts CAST(INT TO BINARY), but the runtime does not implement
> them

> Key: CALCITE-7368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-7368
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.41.0
> Reporter: Mihai Budiu
> Priority: Minor
>
> Most SQL dialects which support this feature seem to convert integers to big
> endian values, and then truncate or pad on the left when the size of the
> target BINARY does not exactly match the integer's size.
