>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Client - JDBC
>    Affects Versions: 1.10.0
>         Environment: Statement is explicitly CASTING to a CHAR type with precision but result described as VARCHAR with maximum precision.
> select cast(C1 as CHAR(10)) from (values('ABC')) T (C1)
> select cast(C1 as VARCHAR(10)) from (values('ABC')) T (C1)
> ResultsetMetadata
> ColumnIndex	getColumnName	getColumnTypeName	getPrecision	getScale	isNullable	getTableName	getSchemaName	getCatalogName	getColumnClassName	getColumnDisplaySize	getColumnLabel	getColumnType	isAutoIncrement	isCaseSensitive	isCurrency	isDefinitelyWritable	isReadOnly	isSearchable	isSigned	isWritable
> 1	EXPR$0	CHARACTER VARYING	65536	0	1			DRILL	java.lang.String	65536	EXPR$0	12	false	false	false	false	true	true	false	false
>            Reporter: N Campbell
>            Priority: Minor

> While Drill states it internally uses VARCHAR type, unclear if Drill had considered/attempted to ensure it would project a CHAR(n) with blank padding.
