[jira] [Updated] (CALCITE-3081) Literal NULL should be generated in SqlDialect

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3081?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Feng Zhu updated CALCITE-3081:
------------------------------
    Description: 
In Calcite, this simple query will throw exception during validation, even it is ok in many databases.
{code:java}
Query:
final String query = "select NULL as col "
    + "from \"foodmart\".\"product\"";

Exception
org.apache.calcite.tools.ValidationException: org.apache.calcite.runtime.CalciteContextException: From line 1, column 8 to line 1, column 11: Illegal use of 'NULL'
{code}
The right way to use 'NULL' in Calcite is:
{code:java}
final String query = "select cast(NULL as integer) as col "
    + "from \"foodmart\".\"product\"";
{code}
However,  the converted query by *RelToSqlConverter* is illegal in Calcite.
{code:java}
SELECT NULL AS \"COL\"
FROM \"foodmart\".\"product\"
{code}
The issue is trivial, but it is against to general sense. Maybe we can generate NULL literal in SqlDialect?

SELECT NULL AS \"COL\"
FROM \"foodmart\".\"product\"
{code}
The issue is trivial, but it is against to general sense. Maybe we can generate NULL literal in SqlDialect?
