Ruben Q L commented on CALCITE-4999:
------------------------------------
Thanks for pushing this forward [~dmsysolyatin].
If my understanding is correct, we should focus on merging CALCITE-5126 first;
because afterwards the PR of the current ticket would need to be adjusted (it
will not be required to adapt {{testUnnestWithOrdinality}} any more, it could
remain untouched).
Is this correct? If so, let's go for CALCITE-5126 first.
> ARRAY, MULTISET functions should return a collection of scalars if a
> sub-query returns 1 column

> At the moment `array` function returns [RecordType ARRAY] if subquery is
> passed like an argument.
> {code:java}
> SELECT array(select 'toast.' || x from unnest(ARRAY['1','2']) x){code}
> But Sql standard says:
> {code:java}
> 6.38 <array value constructor>
> Function
> Specify construction of an array.
> Format
> <array value constructor> ::=
> <array value constructor by enumeration>
> | <array value constructor by query>
> [...]
> <array value constructor by query> ::=
> ARRAY <table subquery>
> Syntax Rules
> [...]
> 3) If <array value constructor by query> is specified, then
> a) The <query expression> QE simply contained in the <table subquery> shall
> be of degree 1 (one). Let ET be the declared type of the column in the result
> of <query expression>.
> b) The declared type of the <array value constructor by query> is array with
> element type ET and maximum cardinality equal to the implementation-defined
> maximum cardinality IMDC for such array types.
> {code}
> Proposed solution is to return an array of scalars (e.g. INTEGER ARRAY) when
> the query returns 1 column, and continue to return an array of ROW when the
> query has 2 or more columns. And do the same for MULTISET.
