> Implicitly convert strings to geometries
> ----------------------------------------

> Key: CALCITE-5276
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5276
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: spatial
> Reporter: Bertil Chapuis
> Assignee: Bertil Chapuis
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.33.0

> Postgis and H2GIS implicitly transform strings into a geometries so that one can write the following query:
> {{SELECT ST_AsText('POINT(-71.064544 42.28787)');}}
> Instead of:
> {{SELECT ST_AsText(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-71.064544 42.28787)'));}}
> supports this kind of conversion. Should I introduce a new SqlTypeTranform (TO_GEOMETRY)? Thanks a lot for your help, I'm still discovering the internals of calcite.
> The idea would be to introduce a SqlTypeTransform, change the SqlTypeAssignmentRule (see CALCITE-3550), add tests in TypeCoercionTest, and update the doc.
