winifredtang updated CALCITE-2653:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
I wonder if we can change the operator syntax of String Function SUBSTRING from 
SUBSTRING(string FROM integer) to SUBSTRING(string, integer). Since it might be 
a bit of misleading.

Executing a SQL statement like 'select substring(name FROM 2) from 
sales.depts;' would throw a exception :

Caused by: org.apache.calcite.sql.parser.impl.ParseException: Encountered 
"select" at line 2, column 1.

The correct SQL statement is 'select substring(NAME,2) from sales.depts;'

SUBSTRING(string FROM integer FOR integer) has the same promble.

If necessary, I'd like to modify it.
