Description
Since we've started using the evaluation engine for VDiff, @mattlord has found several issues where our type coverage was not good enough and we were failing to operate on types that were (in theory) supported but that we failed to handle because our type checks where too constricted (e.g.
TEXT
vsCHAR
vsVARCHAR
).This PR attempts to fix any further cases that may come up in the future by switching the
evalengine
to using thesqltypes.IsXXX
category checks instead of explicitly comparing against specific types. It also cleans up some technical debt by renaming some helper methods which were IMO a bit confusing.Related Issue(s)
