Reverts #46647
As brought up by #46685, the simple change in #46647 is not enough. An investigation into why makes it seem like we need a decent refactor of the overload return type system. Because we type this aggregate with
types.AnyCollatedStringFamily
, we don't end up propagating the correct return type (the collation of the input) through to receivers of the aggregate's output. I think it is too late in the release to attempt such a refactor, so I'm going to revert this PR.Release justification: Reverts a bug.
Release note (sql change): Remove the ability to perform min/max aggregates on collated strings.
