* We cast it to VARCHAR otherwise the concatenation in derby it is promoted to LONG VARCHAR.

* In Derby, ? string parameters are promoted to LONG VARCHAR, and Derby
* does not allow comparisons between LONG VARCHAR types. so the below
* example would be invalid in Derby
* (THIS.FIRSTNAME||?) = ?
*
* Due to that we convert it to
* (CAST(THIS.FIRSTNAME||? AS VARCHAR(4000))) = ?
*
* The only issue with this solution is for columns bigger than 4000 chars.
* Secondly, if both operands are parameters, derby does not allow concatenation e.g.
* ? || ? is not allowed by derby
*
* so we do
* CAST(? AS VARCHAR(4000)) || CAST(? AS VARCHAR(4000))
*
* If both situations happen,
* (CAST(CAST( ? AS VARCHAR(4000) ) || CAST( ? AS VARCHAR(4000) ) AS VARCHAR(4000))) = ?
