Type inference and automatic conversion of values is performed based on the context when the value is un-typed (such as when reading CSV data). If present, the CAST function overrides automatic conversion.

The [mc sql](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc/mc-sql.html) command can be used for executing queries using the command line.
