Kristine Hahn reassigned DRILL-2645:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Kristine Hahn
> SQL Functions page should specify return types in terms of SQL types
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-2645
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2645
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill)
> Assignee: Kristine Hahn
>
> On the SQL Functions page currently at
> http://drill.apache.org/docs/sql-functions/, the return type for string
> functions is specified in terms of "int", "text", and "byte array" instead of
> being specified in terms of Drill SQL types (e.g., "INTEGER", "BYTE ARRAY",
> etc.)
> Additionally, names of SQL types should be given in all uppercase, as they
> are used in the SQL standard, as they are specified to appear in
> INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, and as they appear in the JDBC equivalent of
> INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS. (Another reason is that it's not clear, for
> example, which occurrence of "numeric" is the adjective "numeric" and which
> means the proper noun (datatype name) "NUMERIC".)
