[jira] [Created] (FLINK-24413) Casting to a CHAR() and VARCHAR() doesn't trip the string to the specified precision

Marios Trivyzas created FLINK-24413:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Casting to a CHAR() and VARCHAR() doesn't trip the string to the specified precision
                 Key: FLINK-24413
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24413
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Table SQL / API
            Reporter: Marios Trivyzas


*CAST**('abcdfe' AS CHAR(3))* should trim the string to 3 chars but currently returns the whole string *'abcdfe'*.

 

PostgreSQL for example does this:

postgres=# select '123456afas'::char(4);
 bpchar 
--------
 1234
(1 row)

postgres=# select '123456afas'::varchar(5);
 varchar 
---------
 12345
(1 row)
