> This document should describe the implicit casting rules in different operations: joins, "union all" and functions.
> For example,
> if t1.a1 is defined as an INTEGER and t2.a2 is defined as BIGINT, using these two columns in a join predicate will result in t1.a1 to be converted to BIGINT implicitly and explicit cast will not be needed:
> select * from t1, t2 where t1.a1 = t2.a2;
