[jira] [Created] (DERBY-6479) Allow cast of BLOB to other binary
types
Rick Hillegas created DERBY-6479:
------------------------------------
Summary: Allow cast of BLOB to other binary types
Key: DERBY-6479
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6479
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
The SQL Standard allows explicit casts between all binary types. See the 2011 edition of the Standard, part 6.13 (cast specification), syntax rule 6. However, Derby doesnt' allow casts of BLOB to other binary types. We should allow this. The following script shows the current behavior:
connect 'jdbc:derby:memory:db;create=true';
create table blobTable( a blob );
create table binaryTable( a varchar( 16 ) for bit data );
-- works
insert into binaryTable select cast( a as varchar( 16 ) for bit data ) from blobTable;
-- fails
insert into blobTable select cast( a as blob ) from binaryTable;
--
