Resolves #23309
Description
Regression when client evaluation in the final projection (common) encounters a conditional expression where one part can be null in the database. In this case we end up with mismatched types between the true/false part of the conditional, resulting in an exception.
Customer Impact
Regression when a ternary is used in projection when client eval happens, which is a common case.
How found
Customer reported on 5.0.
Test coverage
Added test for affected scenario.
Regression?
Yes, from 3.1.
Risk
Low. Convert node would only fail when null is encountered when non-null expected which is error.
