sql: discard numeric conversion by unary plus
In SQLite unary plus behaves as implicit conversion to numeric type. Consider following example: CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT PRIMARY KEY, a TEXT, b BLOB); INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1, '99', '99'); SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE a = b; (*) SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE +a = +b; (**) Since BLOB and TEXT are incompatible, result of (*) would be empty set. However, comparison in second query (**) would be of <NUMERIC> types, and result set would consist of one tuple [1, '99', '99']. Lets discard this conversion produced by unary plus, since it implicitly affects result set of query and no one other DB support such behaviour. Instead, simply use type of operand it is related to. Note, that unary minus doesn't affect types in any way.
