Snowflake/Snowpark datatypes can vary by length - additionally, string representation of those types bakes in these variances. Updating comparisons to compare directly on types to allow for comparing same types with different lengths/precisions.
The datatype returned by
field.datatype
is actually an instance of a datatype class which bakes in length/precision, which is why we compare on the type of the datatype field. We use the datatype field to call thesimple_string
instance method to get a string representation of the datatype, and the type of the datatype field for actual comparison.All Snowflake tests passing.
