zhishun luan commented on SPARK-34669:
--------------------------------------
Since spark SQL is a unified SQL programming interface, this basic function
should be supported, not selectively.
So I suggest to provide a new function, which users can choose according to
different scenarios.
> Spark SQL uses the function[ length()] to return the length of the string
> rather than the length of the character

> Such as the title.
> For the function length (). MySQL and other relational databases, we get the
> byte length, but spark SQL gets the string length. For these two cases,
> please provide a new function to get the byte length, otherwise it is easy to
> mislead users
