This PR adds a check that fails if there is an implicit or explicit cast from to Bytes. I still need to add some automatic tests, but I've tested manually. In a query like: ```sql select * from starbucksStores where location_st_point = '80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202' limit 10 ``` The message shown is: ` From line 0, column 0 to line 2, column 36: Cannot cast '80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202' as VARBINARY. Try to use binary literal instead (like x'80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202')` In a query like: ```sql select * from starbucksStores where OCTET_LENGTH( substring('80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202', 2) ) > 0 limit 10 ``` The message shown is: `From line 0, column 0 to line 3, column 52: Cannot cast SUBSTRING('80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202' FROM 2) as VARBINARY. Try to wrap the expression in hexToBytes (like hexToBytes(SUBSTRING('80c062bc98021f94f1404e9bda0f6b0202' FROM 2)))` Two things that we can try to improve (although priority doesn't seem high): - Given in this cases the cast expression was implicit, start position seem to be line 0 column 0. It would be great to find a way to show a more precise start position - As shown in the second case, the suggested expression is not exactly like the original one.
