### Describe the bug Hi there, ``select octet_length(char)`` doesn't behave as expected. In the example below - in Postgres (``text`` column) the below SQL would return 25 as the result however in DataFusion (``StringArray`` column ) it just returns the original length of the values in ``n_name``. ```sql select octet_length(n_name::char(25)) from nation; ``` I'm not sure if this is because the cast to a ``char(25)`` is not behaving as expected ### To Reproduce create a StringColumn in DF, populate it with some values and run the following SQL on it. ```sql select octet_length(n_name::char(25)) from nation; ``` ### Expected behavior Should return 25, but it returns the length of each of the values in the column. ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
