Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-3959:
--------------------------------------
What libraries? You mention BigQuery but a quick search shows MySQL and Oracle.
The cleanest implementation might be to allow POSITION to take 4 arguments
internally and desugar INSTR to POSITION.

> Key: CALCITE-3959
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3959
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: xzh_dz
> Assignee: Joey Moore
> Priority: Major
>
> BiqQuery supports the
> [INSTR|https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/string_functions#instr](source_value,
> search_value[, position[, occurrence]]) function which accepts 2 (character
> strings or binary strings), 1 optional int representing position, and 1
> optional int representing occurrence.
> Occurrence and position are assigned a default value of 1 if not specified.
> The function returns the 1-based position of the nth occurrence of the 2nd
> operand in the 1st operand where n is defined by the 4th operand. The
> function begins searching at the 1-based position specified in the 3rd
> operand.
> The function also supports negative position values, with -1 indicating the
> last character, and will search backwards from the position specified in that
> case.
> Returns 0 if:
> * No match is found.
> * If occurrence is greater than the number of matches found.
> * If position is greater than the length of source_value.
> Returns NULL if:
> * Any input argument is NULL.
> Returns an error if:
> * position is 0.
> * occurrence is 0 or negative.
> EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abc", "bc")}} would return 2.
> EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", 3)}} would return 5.
> EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", -1, 1)}} would return 5.
> EXAMPLE: {{INSTR("abcabc", "bc", -1, 2)}} would return 2.
