   I am going to close this one as I can't figure out what this ticket is tracking
   
   I think the current error message is pretty straightforward:
   
   ```sql
   ❯ select abs('123');
   Error during planning: No function matches the given name and argument types 'abs(Utf8)'. You might need to add explicit type casts.
   	Candidate functions:
   	abs(Float64/Float32)
   ```
   
   I am not sure what this issue is tracking any more. Is the requested feature to support automatically cocercing strings to some type?
   
   If so I'll open a new specific ticket for that
