Coercion rules for matching argument types for binary operators

Functions§

  • Coerce lhs_type and rhs_type to a common type where both are numeric
  • Coerce lhs_type and rhs_type to a common type for the purposes of a comparison operation
  • Decimal coercion rules.
  • Returns the coerced input types for a binary expression evaluating the op with the left and right hand types
  • returns the resulting type of a binary expression evaluating the op with the left and right hand types
  • Returns the wider type among arguments lhs and rhs. The wider type is the type that can safely represent values from both types without information loss. Returns an Error if types are incompatible.
  • coercion rules for like operations. This is a union of string coercion rules and dictionary coercion rules
  • Coercion rules for regular expression comparison operations. This is a union of string coercion rules and dictionary coercion rules
  • Coerce dissimilar data types to a single data type. UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT, CASE, ARRAY, VALUES, and the GREATEST and LEAST functions are examples that has the similar resolution rules. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/typeconv-union-case.html for more information. The rules in the document provide a clue, but adhering strictly to them doesn’t precisely align with the behavior of Postgres. Therefore, we’ve made slight adjustments to the rules to better match the behavior of both Postgres and DuckDB. For example, we expect adjusted decimal precision and scale when coercing decimal types.
  • Coerce lhs_type and rhs_type to a common type for VALUES expression
