ZheHu commented on CALCITE-5745:
--------------------------------
I agree that we need two different null semantics for CONCAT.
For MSSQL, its CONCAT function requires at least 2 and at most 254 arguments,
hence we need a third function like MSSQL_CONCAT(the way it deals with null
value can be covered by the above semantics) to achieve this.
If we reach an agreement on this, I'll start with CONCAT2 for Oracle.
> CONCAT2 function(enabled in Oracle library) gets wrong result when one of the
> argument is NULL

> Key: CALCITE-5745
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5745
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 1.34.0
> Reporter: ZheHu
> Assignee: ZheHu
> Priority: Major
>
> Tested CONCAT function in Oracle and got the corresponding results.
> {code}
> select concat('a', cast(null as varchar(20))) from DUAL;
> --- results in 'a'
> {code}
> {code}
> select concat('a', null) from DUAL;
> select 'a' || null from DUAL;
> --- both result in 'a'
> {code}
> In Calcite(see checkConcat2Func() in SqlOperatorTest.java), CONCAT2 function
> gets null when running:
> {code}
> concat('a', cast(null as varchar))
> {code}
