----------------------------------
Summary: HANA translator modifies boolean to tinyint in type conversion
Key: TEIID-3802
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3802
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Misc. Connectors
Affects Versions: 8.7.1.6_2
Reporter: Jan Stastny
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Teiid modifies boolean data type to tinyint before pushing the query down to the HANA
instance.
This brings following issue while having a query similar to this one:
{code:sql}
SELECT BQT1.SMallA.BooleanValue,cast(BQT2.SmallB.CharValue as boolean) FROM
BQT1.SmallA,BQT2.SmallB WHERE BQT1.SmallA.BooleanValue = cast(BQT2.SmallB.CharValue as
boolean)
{code}
which Teiid modifies to:
{code:sql}
SELECT g_0."BOOLEANVALUE", cast(g_1."CHARVALUE" AS tinyint) FROM
"BQT1"."SMALLA" AS g_0, "BQT2"."SMALLB" AS g_1
WHERE g_0."BOOLEANVALUE" = cast(g_1."CHARVALUE" AS tinyint)
{code}
But the problem is not present for:
{code:sql}
SELECT BQT1.SMallA.BooleanValue FROM BQT1.SmallA WHERE BQT1.SmallA.BooleanValue =
cast(BQT1.SmallA.CharValue as boolean)
{code}
It seems that the Cartesian product and comparing values from different sources are the
cause of the issue. But HANA has internal type BOOLEAN, so there might be no point at
modifying the type to TINYINT after all. I also checked, that the pushed query (which
causes the issue) with the casting altered to BOOLEAN runs well on HANA. The following
query returns expected results when pushed directly to HANA instance:
{code:sql}
SELECT g_0."BOOLEANVALUE", cast(g_1."CHARVALUE" AS boolean) FROM
"BQT1"."SMALLA" AS g_0, "BQT2"."SMALLB" AS g_1
WHERE g_0."BOOLEANVALUE" = cast(g_1."CHARVALUE" AS boolean)
{code}
NOTE: The CharValue columns are modelled as VARCHAR/string in fact. Thus the cast is a
valid operation.
