Iurii Gerzhedovich updated IGNITE-24429:
----------------------------------------
Description:
By Analogue with IGNITE-22135 need to get rid BINARY type by the same reason -
type is not widely used by users, however, the type has specific need to be
supported and requires significant time to do it right.
was:
CHAR type is not widely used by users, however, the type has specific need to
be supported and requires significant time to do it right.
Let's consider the ability to get rid of the type.
List possibility solutions ordered by priority:
1. Make CHAR type an alias for VARCHAR, but take into account that in the
future we can start supporting the type in the right way and need to be sure we
can support smooth migration from the version that does not support CHAR to the
new one with such support ( as example - metadata for such type should reflect
real type VARCHAR)
2. Forbid CHAR type at all. No alias even.
> Sql. Get ride support of BINARY datatype.
